Will start playing in another two to three weeks: Jadhav

India all-rounder Kedar Jadhav, who underwent a surgery after suffering a harmstring injury during the IPL, today said he would start playing in another two to three weeks time.

Playing for Chennai Super Kings, Jadhav got injured in the opening game of this year's IPL against Mumbai Indians on April 7, which ruled him out of the lucrative event. He later underwent a surgery in Melbourne.

"Rehab (rehabilitation) is good. Another maximum two-three weeks and I will be fit and start playing. I am allowed to bat now also, but because of rain, I am not able to. In two weeks I will start playing," Jadhav told reporters during a promotional event here today.

"I am recovering faster than expectation, so I am happy," the 33-year-old Maharashtra cricketer said.

Jadhav revealed that he suffered the injury on the same muscle for the third time.

"Yes it was a recurrent injury. Almost the third time, the same muscle was injured. I got injured first in December against Sri Lanka in Dharamshala, then in South Africa in the third ODI and then again in IPL," he said.

"So when it (the injury) happens again and again, you have to find a confirm solution. The physios and doctors in India then decided that surgery will give me better option to play for longer duration."
