\u201cI\u2019ve had a long injury layoff, but I have fully recovered now. As a result of the back injury. I\u2019ve had to make some changes in my swing. I feel the changes are slowly settling into my game. My uncle, SSP Chawrasia, has been a great source of support through my tough time when I was making my way back from injury. His encouragement and advice have been invaluable,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
