As per BCCI rules, teams are offered the choice for a replacement should the player be ruled out of the entire season. KKR have already roped in Blessing Muzarabani, after having had to release Mustafizur Rahman. Similar injury replacements are expected in the coming days, especially considering a host of absences.
