PBKS vs KKR Live: Big blow for Punjab Kings
New Zealand fast bowler Lockie Ferguson is likely to miss the remainder of this year’s Indian Premier League after sustaining a “pretty serious” leg injury, his team Punjab Kings said.
Ferguson bowled just two balls in the defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday before limping off clutching his left thigh in visible pain.
“Ferguson is out indefinitely and the chances of us getting him back by the end of the tournament are very slim, I would have thought,” Punjab fast bowling coach James Hopes said late Monday.
“I think he has sustained a pretty serious injury.”
Ferguson, 33, only recently recovered from a hamstring injury that forced him to miss the Champions Trophy in February and March. He has taken five wickets in four IPL matches this season.

IPL Live Score: Pitch report
The pitch offered balanced conditions with a few dry patches aiding both batters and bowlers. The larger square boundary (69m) and a 74m straight boundary made placement key for runs. Batting remained steady throughout, but bowlers found success with disciplined lengths. Overpitched deliveries came on nicely for batters to drive, while shorter balls sat up well. The key on this surface is hitting a good length consistently, which keeps the batters in check and prevents easy scoring. Overall, it’s a surface that rewards smart bowling and calculated strokeplay.
Today IPL Match Live: Head-to-head
