I was injured during practice on Monday and the X-ray revealed a fracture in the bone (fourth metacarpal) of my left hand. This was another painful challenge for me. But with the help of my team, I managed to participate in Brussels.'

He further wrote, 'This was the last tournament of the year. I could not live up to my own expectations. But I think this was a season in which I learned a lot.

Now I am fully fit and ready to return and play. I want to thank you all for your encouragement. 2024 has made me a better athlete and person. See you in 2025.'
