The final step in his recovery was a yo-yo test on Saturday morning, where he recorded a score of 18 - comfortably surpassing the qualifying mark of 16.5, ESPNcricinfo reported. This milestone confirmed his readiness after undergoing the standard rehabilitation process for a side strain he sustained during last month\u2019s T20I series against England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On Friday, Nitish played in a practice match and bowled at full intensity without any discomfort. The BCCI\u2019s medical panel took a cautious approach with his recovery, extending his rehab by two weeks beyond the initial three-week estimate.

SRH had retained five players ahead of last year\u2019s mega auction, with Nitish among them. He enjoyed a breakthrough IPL 2024 season, scoring 303 runs at a strike rate of 142.92. His bowling, however, was less effective, managing just three wickets while conceding runs at an economy of 11.62.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
