00:00Yeah, just before we start, unfortunately, Ruduraj Gaikwad is going to be ruled out of the tournament.
00:05He got hit in Guwahati.
00:08He's been operating with an amount of pain we got at x-rayed, which was inconclusive,
00:13and we had an MRI which revealed a fracture in his elbow, in the radial neck.
00:18So we're disappointed and feel for him.
00:22We appreciate the efforts that he's gone to in terms of trying to play,
00:25but unfortunately he'd be out of the tournament from now.
00:28We have an uncapped player, MS Stoney, who will take over as captain for the remainder of the IPL.
