India Physio Patrick Farhart Tracking Players’ Workload In IPL

New Delhi: Team India skipper Virat Kohli recently emphasized the need for players to be smart during the Indian Premier League (IPL) as the World Cup is around the corner. So while the players are busy plying their trade for various franchises, national physio Patrick Farhart keeps a close watch on their fitness and workload.

While Kohli said that all the players should be cautious about injuries and niggle during the IPL so that the national team doesn’t miss their services during the all-important World Cup, the onus is more on the fast bowlers and Farhart to keep an eye on the recovery process.

Be it Kings XI Punjab pacer Mohammed Shami, Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah or Sunrisers Hyderabad fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Farhart is constantly in touch with the physios of the respective franchises to keep a check on their routine after a game.

Speaking to IANS, KXIP physio Brett Harrop said that he is constantly in touch with Farhart over the routine that someone like Shami is following during the IPL.

“We have been communicating on the phone and email, been a lot of communication. A lot of it has been about managing his recovery, to make sure that he has recovered well after each game. That has been the emphasis when it comes to him doing his prehab and rehab as well as him getting his massages done,” he explained. IANS
