Often, what we think will not happen. This was seen with Kane Williamson, the captain of the New Zealand cricket team, who was keen to withdraw from the T20 series against Pakistan in order to play in the exciting Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament.
He was picked up by the Gujarat Titans team this year and was eager to make an impact. However, in the very first match while fielding against the Chennai Super Kings, he suffered a severe knee injury near the boundary. The injury was so severe that he was ruled out of the entire tournament. The exclusion of a player like Williamson’s certainly a significant blow to the Gujarat Titans team, as he is currently one of the four best batsmen in cricket.
