IPL 2023: Gujarat Titans’ Kane Williamson ruled out due to an injury, to return back home

Xtra Time Web Desk: Gujarat Titans batter Kane Williamson has been ruled out of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. Williamson sustained an injury to his right knee while attempting a catch during Gujarat Titans’ opening encounter against Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. 

“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,” said Vikram Solanki, the Director of Cricket of the franchise.

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.
