    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, Aug 11:<\/strong>&nbsp;India batsman Suresh Raina posted a heartfelt message on his social media handles after he underwent a knee surgery in Amsterdam and updated fans about his health.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Raina on Friday underwent a knee surgery where he had been facing discomfort for the last few months.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I am out of surgery and healing steadily, for which I thank my doctors, family, friends, and everyone who has wished me good health and speedy recovery,&quot; the left-handed batsman posted on Twitter and Instagram on Saturday.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The issue began way back. It was 2007 when I underwent my maiden knee surgery and later, I was back on the field, giving the game my 100 per cent, all thanks to my trainers and doctors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;However, a nagging discomfort returned last couple of years. During the episodes of niggling pain, to avoid any impact on my game, my trainers kept me going and helped me a lot in training my muscles well so that it would take the load off of the knee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;To be honest, a second knee surgery was a tough call to make because I knew it would put me off-action for a few months and I wasn&#39;t ready for it until a few weeks ago when the pain had gotten a bit much and I knew there was only one way out of this.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I hope I&#39;m up on my feet, on the field and ready to give my best very soon again,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The left-handed batsman will not be available for most part of India&#39;s upcoming domestic season which begins with Duleep Trophy.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 32-year-old southpaw last played for India in an ODI against England in 2018.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Raina, a World Cup winner in 2011, has played 18 Tests, 226 ODIs and 78 T20Is. He was last involved in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with Chennai Super Kings.<\/p>\r\n",
