There is some bad news for fans of the Gujarat Titans. The team’s top-order batsman Kane Williamson has been ruled out of this IPL season due to injury. This legendary batsman from New Zealand got injured during the opening match of IPL 2023. Due to the serious injury of him, he had to be ruled out for this IPL season. He will soon return to his home.
In the first match of IPL 2023, when the Gujarat Titans team was on the field against Chennai Super Kings, Williamson broke his knee in the 13th of the first innings of this match. In the process of catching CSK batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad’s catch, he had fallen over the edge in such a way that he couldn’t even stand up properly. He couldn’t catch this catch, but he saved two runs for his team by stopping these six.
After getting injured here, he had to leave the field. Even after treatment during the match, when his injury was found to be serious, Sai Sudarshan was used as an impact player in his place. Gujarat won this match but now they will have to play without Kane Williams in their next match.
Gujarat Titans ‘Director of Cricket’ Vikram Solanki said in a statement: ‘It is sad to lose Kane Williamson to injury so early in the tournament. We wish him a speedy recovery. Hopefully he will be seen on the field again very soon.
We are sorry to announce that Kane Williamson has been ruled out of the TATA IPL 2023, after picking up an injury in the season opener against Chennai Super Kings.
