Sometime last May, as P.S. Jeena intercepted a ball in an all-India basketball tournament in Salem, she realised that her landing was not proper.
“It was on one leg, I felt my knee turn...and my ACL was completely gone,” said Jeena, the Indian captain at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, in a chat with The Hindu from Thiruvananthapuram.
She had surgery in Coimbatore the next day and was on bed rest for two months after that. Those were hard days.
