Jyothi Yarraji Undergoes Knee Surgery To Repair ACL Tear, Ending Her Season
Last Updated: Jyothi Yarraji underwent knee surgery for an ACL tear, ending her season and excluding her from the World Championships in September. Asian champion and national record holder in the 100m hurdles, Jyothi Yarraji, has successfully undergone knee surgery, which will not only exclude her from the World Championships in September but also end her season. The 25-year-old Yarraji announced on social media that she had surgery on Friday to repair an ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) tear in her right knee. The procedure was conducted by renowned surgeon Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala. 'Hello everyone, I'm happy to share that this Friday, I successfully underwent a successful surgery to repair an ACL tear on my right knee with Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala. The past few weeks have been tough for me, as this injury has stopped me from doing what I love the most," Yarraji wrote on Instagram. An ACL tear surgery typically requires at least six months for recovery. This means Yarraji will miss the Tokyo World Championships (September 13-21) and will likely return to action next year. 'However, with the support of my family, friends, the teams at TOPS, afiindia official and rfyouthsports coachjameshillier and all of you, I am taking this in my stride and hoping to be back very soon. The journey to a stronger version of me starts now and I'm going to put in my 100% and more to be back on track soon," she added. Who Is Jyothi Yarraji? Yarraji, also an Asian Games silver medallist, had previously announced this month that she suffered a 'freak" knee injury while training. Her coach, James Hillier, told PTI that the injury was 'pretty bad." Before her injury, she had a high chance of qualifying for the World Championships, although she had not achieved the direct qualification time of 12.73 seconds. Her 12.96-second performance in winning gold at the Asian Championships in May placed her among the athletes who could qualify for the World Championships through the world ranking quota. Athletes can qualify for the World Championships either by direct entry through breaching the qualification mark or through the world ranking quota. The qualification window remains open until August 24. Yarraji returned this season after suffering a hip flexor injury while training in Finland after the 2024 Paris Olympics, which impacted her training stint. At the start of the 2025 season, she adjusted her technique, switching from a seven-stride approach to her original eight-stride approach, believing it would reduce injury risk. She won gold in the 100m hurdles and the 200m race at the Uttarakhand National Games in February, secured the top spot in the 100m hurdles at the Federation Cup, and defended her Asian Championships title. Her last title was at the Taiwan Athletics Open on June 7. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Yarraji, who won gold at the Asian Athletics Championships with a time of 12.96 seconds, had suffered an injury during a training session. 'I'm happy to share that this Friday, I successfully underwent a successful surgery to repair an ACL tear on my right knee with Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, she shared on Instagram. 'The past few weeks have been tough for me, as this injury has stopped me from doing what I love the most,' said Yarraji, who is now unlikely to feature in the World Championships later this year. She remained in contention for a spot in the Worlds via ranking despite falling short of the automatic qualification mark of 12.73. Currently ranked 12th among athletes eligible through the ranking quota, she would have needed to compete in more events before the August 24 deadline to maintain her position.
