The former New Zealand skipper and batting great Kane Williamson is currently in the headlines of social media. Notably, the Tauranga batter has been ruled out of the entire edition of the ongoing Indian T20 League 2023 due to a knee injury. The incident happened with him during the tournament opener against Chennai.
It all happened when Williamson was fielding near the boundary rope for Gujarat and he ended up landing on his right leg in an attempt to stop a six from Chennai opener Ruturaj Gaikwad. Eventually, he injured his right knee and was in extreme pain at moment; the physios immediately rushed to him and took him to medical care.
Recently, a video is also making rounds on social media in which the former Kiwi skipper is visible walking with crutches due to an injured knee. Subsequently, the cricket fans couldn’t hold their emotions and immediately took to Twitter with good wishes for the 32-year-old and also showered love and blessings on him.
Here’s how fans reacted:

Shouldn't have happened. Cannot afford to loose New Zealand captain in the ODI World Cup year for some regular IPL match.
