The injury layoff helped me focus on the controllables: Ajith Ram

Tamil Nadu bowler Ajith Ram has successfully returned to competitive red-ball cricket following an 18-month absence caused by a knee injury sustained during the 2025 TNPL. The 28-year-old marked his comeback by taking four wickets in the second innings of a dominant victory against Uttarakhand, where he partnered with R.

Sai Kishore to dismantle the opposition. Reflecting on his lengthy recovery, the spinner noted that the time away allowed him to prioritize his mental approach and focus on factors within his influence.

Despite nearing a career milestone of 100 first-class wickets, he remains focused on team contributions rather than individual statistics as he prepares for the upcoming match against Railways.
