New Zealand cricketer Kane Williamson has suffered an injury to his right knee during the IPL 2023 opener between defending champions Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. Williamson attempted to take a catch and save a six but had a bad landing, causing the ball to pop out of his hand. He was unable to get up and was assisted by the medical team before being taken off the field. It is unclear whether he will be able to bat. Williamson’s absence could be a significant loss for Gujarat Titans, and his coach, Gary Kirsten, expressed concern about the injury. At the time of writing, Chennai Super Kings were 131 for four in the 15th over, with Ruturaj Gaikwad on 79* off 40 balls.
