The coach revealed that it was during the U-23 high performance camp at the NCA, a small hole was detected in Dhull’s heart when routine scans were conducted.
On Wednesday “It was not a major surgery. It took him about 10 to 15 days to recover. He is not 100 percent at the moment in terms of his game and fitness, I would say he is about 80 percent but good enough,” said Nagar.
Nagar further added, “It was a small hole and has been there since birth but it was detected now. He will be back to his best very soon.”
