MUMBAI: In another big blow to Kolkata Knight Riders' slender hopes of qualifying for the IPL 2022 playoffs, opener Ajinkya Rahane has been ruled out of the tournament ahead of their last league game on Wednesday against the Lucknow Super Giants due to a “bad hamstring injury.”
Confirming the news, a source at the Knight Riders told TOI: “Yes, unfortunately (Rahane is out of the rest of IPL-15). He suffered a bad hamstring injury in the last game (against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Pune on Saturday).”
