The Australian suffered the injury during Sunday's match against the Rohit Sharma-captained side, which KKR lost by four wickets at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. He has been good so far, but consistency is the key.
Two days after injuring his left shoulder while diving in the match against Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) opening batsman Chris Lynn's further participation in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL) remains jeopardised, the KKR medical team said on Tuesday.
Nitish Rana and Mumbai Indians snatched victory from the jaws of defeat as the home side won their first game of the 2017 IPL by 4 wickets. They played very well in the end and we have to work a bit more on death bowling.
Kings XI Punjab: Glenn Maxwell (captain), Manan Vohra, Axar Patel, David Miller, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Anureet Singh, Sandeep Sharma, Shaun Marsh, Wriddhiman Saha, Nikhil Naik, Mohit Sharma, Marcus Stoinis, KC Cariappa, Armaan Jaffer, Pardeep Sahu, Swapnil Singh, Hashim Amla, Varun Aaron, Eoin Morgan, Matt Henry, Rahul Tewatia, Martin Guptill, Darren Sammy, Rinku Singh, T. Natarajan. Offered some flight by Kuldeep Yadav in the 12th over, he slog-swept a four and executed a lovely lofted drive over cover for a six. Woakes and Boult are experienced too. We don't want to be in the back seat.
MI needed 49 runs off the last three overs and the 18th over by Boult swung the game their way as he was hit for two sixes, one each by Rana and Pandya, conceding 19 runs that brought down the run rate. "We know the things we didn't do well today and we'll go back to the drawing board before our next game", Rohit said.
