With a knee injury, star New Zealand cricketer Kane Williamson will miss the remainder of the Indian Premier League season, according to Gujarat Titans, Williamson’s team.
“It is sad to lose Kane to injury so early in the tournament. We wish him a speedy recovery, with the hope of seeing him in action very soon,” Gujarat director of cricket Vikram Solanki said in a statement.
“Williamson will now head home to New Zealand for further assessment. The Gujarat Titans will finalise a replacement for the right-handed batter and an announcement will be made in due course,” the statement added.
Williamson injured his knee while trying a catch in the IPL match between Gujarat and Chennai Super Kings on Friday in Ahmedabad in front of more than 100,000 spectators.
The 32-year-old New Zealand skipper attempted to stand up but was unsuccessful, and two physios were required to assist him off the field.
