The Story in Brief
VVS Laxman has ended his silence on the repeated injury setbacks faced by an unnamed Indian star cricketer, clarifying it is not Jasprit Bumrah. In a statement to the media, the former batsman said the mental side of players undergoing rehab or dealing with injuries is handled by the Centre of Excellence (COE). Laxman stressed that psychological support is a key part of the recovery process. His remarks come amid growing scrutiny over how top players handle frequent physical breakdowns. The NDTV Sports report did not name the player in question.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that repeated injury setbacks for an Indian star are purely a physical or coaching failure is lazy. Laxman’s focus on mental health at the Centre of Excellence is a needed counter. Critics who just blame the BCCI or trainers ignore the toll of top-level sport. The real test will be when this unnamed player returns to competitive cricket: will his comeback match pre-injury form? That number alone will settle whether the system or the mindset needs fixing.
