22-year-old Indian cricketer Yash Vijay Dur is in the spotlight due to his heart surgery. The right-handed batsman, who led India to win the U-19 World Cup 2022, recently underwent a heart surgery, which has caused concern and curiosity among fans.

Rajesh Nagar, Durr’s coach for over a decade, told PTI that the top-order batsman underwent a heart surgery in early July. The problem was discovered during a routine scan at the NCA’s U-23 high-performance camp, when Durr had a small hole in his heart.

“The surgery was not major and it took him about 10 to 15 days to recover. In terms of playing and fitness, he is now around 80% recovered, which is good enough,” Nagal said.

What is a hole in the heart?

A “hole in the heart” refers to a congenital heart defect characterized by an abnormal opening in the wall (septum) between the heart chambers.

The condition is usually present at birth and can take various forms, such as atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD). While most holes are congenital, they can also develop after birth due to factors such as a heart attack or medical procedures.

symptom

Symptoms of a heart defect can vary depending on the size and location of the defect. Many babies with a small ASD or VSD may not have any symptoms, while larger defects may cause complications. Common symptoms include:

  • fatigue
  • Difficulty breathing during physical activity
  • Swelling in the legs, feet, or abdomen
  • Palpitations
  • In severe cases, a stroke or heart murmur may occur.

reason

The exact cause of a hole in the heart is often unclear, but genetics may play a role. Factors such as maternal smoking during pregnancy, certain genetic diseases, and environmental influences may also contribute to the formation of these defects. In some cases, congenital heart defects are caused by developmental errors during fetal growth.

cure

Treatment for a hole in the heart depends on the size of the hole and the associated symptoms. Many small holes may heal on their own, while larger holes often require surgical intervention to prevent complications such as heart failure or pulmonary hypertension.

His debut and recent matches

The former India U-19 captain started his cricket career with his debut for Ranjhi against Tamil Nadu in 2022, scoring a hundred in his debut match. Known for his aggressive batting style and leadership, he quickly became a rising star in Indian cricket. He last played for England when India beat England by four wickets, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure in high-stakes matches.
