\n<\/p>\n

For Kartik Tyagi, the road back has been as much about introspection as it has been about pace.<\/p>\n

On the eve of Kolkata Knight Riders\u2019 clash against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the young quick \u2014 one of the few bright spots in an otherwise underwhelming IPL 2026 campaign for his team \u2014 opened up on the tweaks that have helped him rediscover rhythm after a frustrating run with injuries.<\/p>\n

A recurring shin splint had stalled Tyagi\u2019s progress just when he seemed to be finding his feet at the top level. The enforced breaks, though, turned into a period of reflection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were a few injuries\u2026 but at the same time, I identified that there were a few problems. There were a few incidents\u2026 the same thing kept repeating,\u201d Tyagi said.<\/p>\n

The solution lay in going back to the drawing board. Tyagi reworked his run-up \u2014 particularly his loading phase \u2014 and made subtle adjustments to his action, in consultation with physios and coaches.<\/p>\n

The changes, he believes, have reduced the stress on his body while allowing him to retain his natural pace.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to change everything\u2026 a lot of people have said about the action, but I know that the same thing was happening again and again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The results are evident. Tyagi is back touching the high 140s with consistency, but more importantly, with control \u2014 a combination that has added bite to an otherwise struggling KKR attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cMentally, there\u2019s no difference for me\u2026 there\u2019s always pressure\u2026 we should try to understand the process,\u201d he said, emphasising clarity over clutter.<\/p>\n
