IPL 2024 is scheduled to start from March 22 and in the first match, defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore will face each other. Gujarat Titans will start their campaign against Mumbai Indians on March 24. However, before this the team has suffered a big setback.
Gujarat Titans had bought young tribal player Robin Minz for Rs 3.60 crore in the mini auction, but now he has been injured in a road accident. For this reason he is out of the entire IPL 2024 season.
Head coach gave update
Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra has given an update regarding this. According to him, the chances of Robin Minz recovering during the tournament are very less. In such a situation, Robin is not expected to play in IPL 2024. He said it was unfortunate because we were excited about a player like Minz.
Actually, on March 3, Robin was going somewhere on his bike. During this time, there was such a huge collision with a bike coming from the front that the front part of his bike got completely damaged. He suffered injuries and because of this he will not be able to play this season.
Let us tell you that Robin Minz came into limelight during the IPL 2024 mini auction, when Gujarat Titans placed bets on this tribal cricketer. Robin has played for Jharkhand in Under-19 and Under-25 and is known for his explosive batting.
Earlier, Mohammed Shami was out of IPL due to injury. Hardik Pandya has also returned to Mumbai Indians. This time the team will play under the leadership of Shubman Gill.
