IPL 2021: Big blow for Kolkata Knight Riders, THESE bowlers back at NCA

Injury prone players Varun Chakravarthy and Kamlesh Nagarkoti are back at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) along with opener Shubman Gill as the KKR trio are undergoing rigorous rehabilitation cum fitness test.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 is set to resume in the United Arab Emirates in a month’s time on September 19. Most franchises have already begun preparation for resumption of IPL 2021 but two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders are still fretting over fitness of some of their key players like Varun Chakravarthy, Kamlesh Nagarkoti and opener Shubman Gill. Injury prone players Chakravarthy and Nagarkoti are back at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) along with opener Shubman Gill as the KKR trio are undergoing rigorous rehabilitation cum fitness test before they get an all clear to play in the T20 league next month. “Yes, Chakravarthy and Nagarkoti are here at the NCA doing their rehab cum fitness routines. I guess once NCA gives them the fit certificate, they will be flying with the rest of the KKR team to the UAE. Gill is still training here,” a BCCI source was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
