Talking about the injury and recovery struggles, Shreyas said, ”It is always challenging to come back after an injury. I had lost around 7kgs due to the injury, which was a severe one. Thankfully, I was back in good shape after two months, But gaining those 7 kgs back took a lot of effort. I enjoy challenges and that was one I had to overcome. I am glad I came through that phase and am back representing my team and also having represented India in the previous series”.
Talking about his role in Punjab Kings in IPL 2026 and gearing up for a strong comeback after the injury, the cricketer said, ”Expectations are high, which is fun. I love the challenge.
