India women’s cricketer Shreyanka Patil says she experienced depression and at times considered giving up cricket during a prolonged injury layoff. Speaking about a difficult period in her career, she describes how her recovery process kept her out of action for more than a year. Patil says the time away from the sport and the challenges of dealing with injury contributed to her mental health struggles, including periods when she felt depressed.
According to the accounts shared, Patil’s comments focus on the emotional impact of rehabilitation and the uncertainty that can come with time spent off the field. The disclosure also highlights that her comeback required both physical recovery and coping with mental strain. While the reports center on her personal experiences during the layoff, they do not provide additional details on the injury itself, the treatment involved, or any specific timeline beyond the statement that she was out of play for more than a year.
