Gambhir might miss KKR’s IPL Eliminator against Mumbai Indians

nakedzero · #1 May 25, 2011, 07:59 AM

Gautam Gambhir, captain of Kolkata Knight Riders and the Indian ODI side for the West Indies tour next month, has an injury in his right shoulder. An MRI scan Tuesday put a question mark on his availability for KKR’s IPL Eliminator against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede today.

The exact nature of the injury is not yet clear. But fears were expressed that Gambhir might have to miss the campaign in the Caribbean.

Gambhir got injured during KKR’s last league match against Mumbai at Eden Gardens. To recover, he might require surgery, rehab or plain rest. It is learnt that the injury is similar to that of his opening partner Virender Sehwag’s, who played the World Cup and the IPL despite the discomfort.

Should Gambhir miss out, vice-captain Suresh Raina will lead India in the West Indies. The team’s batting, already without Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, will be further depleted.

Wow thanks nakedzero, great updates
Double G's out then-who's captain? Kallis probably although Shakib is captaincy material

Isnaad probably wasn't serious bangladesh_sy
Well this is a conundrum, their best batsman out, who'll they bring in as replacement ay indications?

It's a pleasure to participate here in BC. Well all they wrote is about probability, they haven't confirmed anything. I haven't found anything yet confirmed about the news on internet. Lets see, the match will start in few minutes.

Sorry if you found that as offensive. I had my own reasons for my exitement. And I will grow up when necessary, not now. Peace.
