Avinash Sable Undergoes ACL Surgery In Mumbai, To Miss World Championships
Asian Games gold medallist Avinash Sable has underwent ACL and meniscus surgery after an injury at Monaco Diamond League.
Asian Games gold medallist athlete Avinash Sable on Tuesday underwent an ACL and meniscus surgery on his knee, after suffering the injuries during the recent Monaco Diamond League and will miss out on action for some time, with ACL injuries taking a few months to heal.
The surgery means that Sable will miss out on the prestigious World Athletics Championships, which is set to be played in September in Tokyo.
The 30-year-old Sable, the reigning Asian champion and a gold medallist in the Hangzhou Asian Games in 2023, went under the knife at the Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai.
The procedure was performed under the care of well-known surgeon Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, who also treated Rishabh Pant after his accident.
An ACL surgery takes at least six months to heal and it means that Sable will be ruled out of the World Championships and he will be able to come back to action only in 2026. The Commonwealth Games and Asian Games will be played next year.
'During the Monaco Diamond League, I suffered an ACL and meniscus injury to my right knee. It's a tough setback, but I'm determined to do the hard work and come back stronger," Sable posted on Instagram.
'I've completed my surgery under the expert care of Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala and his team at Kokilaben Hospital, to whom I'm grateful beyond words," Sable wrote.
'I also want to thank the Athletics Federation of India, TOPS, Sports Authority of India, the Inspire Institute of Sport, Nike and JSW Sports for standing by me during this period," Sable added.
The national record holder sustained the injury because of a nasty fall during the Monaco Diamond League on July 11.
The athlete ahead of Sable lost balance and went down during the water jump in the race, causing Sable to stumble as well.
The Indian athlete was seen clutching his lower thigh area just at the back of the knee as he left the race.

Mohammed Siraj emerged as India's hero in their narrow six-run victory against England during a thrilling fifth Test. England, chasing a target of 374, were bowled out for 367, with fast bowler Siraj taking 5-104, including a spectacular 3-9 spell on the final morning. This victory marks India's narrowest winning margin in a Test match. England, resuming on 339-6, lost four wickets for 28 runs on the final morning of a dramatic series. Outstanding paceman Siraj, the leading bowler on either side in this series, struck twice to remove Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton, reducing England to 354-8, 20 runs shy of victory. When injured England last man Chris Woakes came in to bat with his left arm strapped due to a shoulder injury, England still needed 17 runs for victory. Gus Atkinson hit a six off Siraj, bringing the target down to single figures. But Siraj sealed a superb series by bowling Atkinson (17), knocking over the batsman's off stump and sparking jubilant scenes among the India team and their supporters in south London. India were without Jasprit Bumrah at the Oval, having decided to play the world's top-ranked Test bowler in only three games of the five-match series. Bumrah achieved the top ranking during last week's drawn fourth Test at Old Trafford. Siraj, who played throughout the series, ended with 23 wickets at 32.43. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

We will never surrender: Gautam Gambhir's first reaction to India's Oval Test win
Head coach Gautam Gambhir took to social media to celebrate India's heroic victory in the Oval Test against England. In his inimitable style, Gambhir highlighted the defining trait of this young Indian Test side, led by Shubman Gill. India successfully defended 374, sealing a six-run win on the final day of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in London on Monday, 4 August."We'll win some, we'll lose some. But we'll NEVER surrender. Well done, boys!" Gambhir posted on head coach, visibly relieved and elated, watched on as India staged a sensational fightback, taking seven wickets for just 66 runs. Under pressure throughout the series, Gambhir had faced criticism, and a defeat in England could have intensified scrutiny over his leadership. But India held their nerve, defending 35 runs on the final morning to close out a gripping contest. Gambhir had stuck to his strategy of playing an extra batter instead of a specialist bowler — a decision questioned in several quarters. However, his captain backed him unequivocally. After the win, Shubman Gill praised Gambhir's influence, revealing how the former opener had helped instil belief in the side."Before this series, Gauti bhai told us, 'We are a young team, but we don't want to be seen as a young team. We want to be seen as a gun team.' Today, we showed we are a gun team with so much potential,' Gill told Sony vs India, 5th Test Day 5 HighlightsEngland had looked in control during their 374-run chase, thanks to a 195-run fourth-wicket stand between centurions Harry Brook and Joe Root. The pair tore into the Indian attack in the second session on Saturday, seemingly batting England to a historic 301 for 3, England appeared to be cruising — until Prasidh Krishna turned the tide with the crucial dismissal of Root. Rain curtailed the fourth day, but on Monday morning, Mohammed Siraj produced a hostile and inspired spell. Ably supported by Prasidh, Siraj sealed a remarkable win for India with a five-wicket and again, in the final Test and across the five-match series, India refused to back down, even when cornered. After being bowled out for just 224 in the first innings at The Oval — having lost the toss — India watched England's openers, Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley, get off to a blistering start. At 109 for 1, England looked set for a dominant lead, but Siraj and Prasidh turned the game, claiming four wickets each to restrict the hosts' lead to just then mounted a formidable second-innings effort, with Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring a century and vital half-centuries coming from nightwatchman Akash Deep and all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. Their combined effort pushed India to 396, setting England a daunting 374 to had started the series with a heavy defeat in Leeds but bounced back in Birmingham, becoming the first Asian side to win a Test at Edgbaston. They suffered a heartbreaking 22-run loss at Lord's, failing to chase 195, before salvaging a gutsy draw in Manchester. The Oval Test brought the series to a dramatic close, with India denying England a home series win and retaining the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in style.- EndsMust Watch

'Both Bowlers Were Exceptional': England Pacer Lauds Mohammed Siraj-Prasidh Krishna
Last Updated: Stuart Broad has lauded Indian bowlers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna for their joint effort in India's thrilling six-wicket victory over England. Former England pacer Stuart Broad has said that the Indian bowlers came in afresh and knew that one lengthy spell could do it for their team, as he lauded the joint effort from Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna, which took India to a thrilling six-wicket win in the fifth Test at the Oval. The Indians began their comeback when they reduced England from 301/3 to 337/6 in their run chase of 374 in the final session on Day 4. In a conversation with Sky Sports after the game, Broad said that while many believed the early stumps on Day 4 disturbed India's momentum, it was the opposite from a bowler's perspective. 'The Indian bowlers freshened up and knew they had one big spell to get this. And when you are bowling for a Test win, there is no more energy inside your body than that and both bowlers were exceptional in what they did," Broad said. 'It had everything and was a fitting finale to what has been one of the greatest Test series I've seen and I think a fair result," Broad added. 'When we were walking off the ground last night at the end of Day 4, a lot of the social media were saying England will be at a big advantage with the heavy roller. However, how I thought about it from a bowler's point of view was, ' I get a nice sleep and I'll be fresher to hit this pitch hard and get more out of it," Broad said. Siraj starred for India with a five-for in the second innings, including three wickets on the fifth day. Siraj was the standout performer, delivering one of his finest performances under pressure. He grabbed nine wickets in the fifth Test, which India won by six runs and finished the series with 23 wickets. The Test series turned out to be one of the most intensely fought and drama-filled showdowns in recent times. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
