Top Indian batsman Rohit Sharma has undergone a successful surgery on his right thigh in London and is recovering well, the BCCI said in an official press release.
Rohit, who was left out of the Indian squad for the ongoing home Test series against England, also tweeted that the surgery had gone well and put up a picture of himself on the hospital bed.
"All went well. Thank you for your good wishes. Can't wait to be back at it," he said on his Twitter handle.
Rohit suffered an injury on his right thigh in the fifth ODI against New Zealand in Visakhapatnam on October 29.
The stylish batsman is likely to be out of action for 10-12 weeks, which means he will not be able to make a comeback even for the series against Australia which begins on February 23.
He had himself said that he could be out of action for at least three months if a surgery happens.
