The Mahakumbh Mela of Indian Premier League 2023 is now just a week away. Even before the start of this tournament, many teams are seen to be struggling.

After that, there are reports that fast bowler Lockie Ferguson is also injured. This has added to Kolkata’s worries.

In fact, the New Zealand team will tour Sri Lanka for a 3-match ODI series from March 25. Lockie Ferguson is already out of the team due to injury. Ferguson only wanted to participate in this match. After that he was going to leave his country to participate in the IPL.

Lockie Ferguson underwent a fitness test ahead of the Sri Lanka vs New Zealand ODI series. He did not pass it. Ferguson has been sidelined with a hamstring injury. New Zealand are yet to announce any player to replace him for the first ODI.

KKR’s first match on April 2
Kolkata Knight Riders’ campaign in IPL 2023 will begin from April 2 with a match against Punjab Kings. Interestingly, earlier the KKR team will also have to announce a new captain in place of Shreyas Iyer. Because Shreyas is likely to miss the season due to a back injury.

On the other hand, talking about Lockie Ferguson, he was part of the Gujarat Titans team that won the title last season. He was traded to Gujarat by KKR and included in their squad. Ferguson had bowled the fastest ball last season at 157.3 kmph. He also received a reward of Rs 10 lakh for this.
