MUMBAI: Former India skipper Nari Contractor on Sunday returned home, much to the relief of his family, after being discharged from the hospital, where he successfully underwent a major operation to remove the titanium plate that was inserted in his skull 60 years ago following an injury during the 1961-62 tour of the West Indies.
The plate, which was inserted after Contractor suffered a life-threatening injury on his head when he was hit by a bouncer by West Indies pacer Charlie Griffith during a tour match against Barbados at Bridgetown during India’s 1961-62 tour of the Caribbean, was removed in an operation at the Reliance Foundation Hospital on Wednesday.
