Indian left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav underwent knee surgery on Wednesday for an injury that he sustained during the ongoing IPL in the UAE.

Kuldeep posted the update on his official Twitter page.

"Surgery was a success and the road to recovery has just begun. Thank you so much to everyone for your amazing support. The focus is now to complete my rehab well and be back on the pitch doing what I love as soon as possible," tweeted the 26-year-old.

On September 27, it was reported that Kuldeep sustained a serious knee injury and was likely to miss most of the upcoming domestic season, having already come back to India with his IPL campaign cut short.

The out-of-favour India international, who was with Kolkata Knight Riders, is expected to go through a long rehabilitation process before attempting a comeback to competitive cricket.

"Yes, we got the information that Kuldeep sustained a nasty knee injury during a practice session in UAE. Apparently while fielding, he twisted his knee and it was really bad at that point," a senior BCCI official had revealed.

"There was no chance that he could have taken any further part and was sent back to India."

The Kanpur-based cricketer has played seven Tests, 65 ODIs and 23 T20Is, getting a total of 174 wickets across formats.

He last played for India in Sri Lanka but it was more of a middling performance with best figures of 2/48 in an ODI game and 2/30 in a T20 International.

He played two more games during that tour—an ODI and a T20I—in which he went wicketless.

Top 5 fascinating facts about penguins on World Penguin Day

As World Penguin Day arrives, it serves as a reminder to celebrate one of nature’s most beloved and unique creatures. Penguins have long captured our imaginations with their tuxedo-like appearance, charming behaviour, and extraordinary ability to thrive in some of the harshest environments on Earth. While these remarkable birds are most closely associated with the icy expanses of Antarctica, their story is far more diverse and fascinating. Here are five fascinating facts about penguins that highlight their resilience, adaptability, and their role in the animal kingdom.

1. Penguins aren’t confined to Antarctica

Although penguins are often linked with the cold and icy landscapes of Antarctica, they are not confined to this frozen continent. In fact, penguins inhabit a wide range of environments across the Southern Hemisphere. While species such as the Emperor and Adélie penguins breed exclusively in Antarctica, other penguin species have adapted to life in warmer climates. For instance, the Galápagos penguin resides on the Galápagos Islands, located just north of the equator, where temperatures are much warmer than those in the icy waters of the South Pole.

‘Jewel Thief’ review: Critics call it a predictable heist film with uninspired direction

The much-anticipated heist film Jewel Thief promised a thrilling ride with high-stakes action and suspense. However, early reviews suggest that the film falls short of expectations, leaving viewers underwhelmed by its predictable plot and lacklustre execution.

The premise of Jewel Thief centres around a master thief who is forced by a menacing antagonist to steal a rare diamond. Critics, however, note that while the plot has the potential to be gripping, the execution doesn’t quite live up to the hype. The film is described as a "predictable heist" where the twists are "painfully obvious" from the start, offering little in terms of suspense or surprise. The film’s plot quickly devolves into a familiar, formulaic chase that never quite finds its footing.
