Rajasthan Royals player Greame Smith was on Tuesday (March 16) ruled out of the third edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) after sustaining a finger injury during their match against Delhi Daredevils in Ahmedabad yesterday. Smith aggravated the injury on his little finger, which he sustained on SA's tour to India earlier this year.
The South African was taken for scans and has been ruled out of the tournament, which is a huge blow for the Rajasthan Royals team. Smith will now fly home to South Africa in order to recover for the T20 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Dmitri Mascarenhas had twisted his ankle and in-form Yusuf Pathan hurt his shoulder as he landed while diving against the Daredevils.
Shane Warne, the captain of Rajasthan Royals said that the injuries have put a question mark over the availability of the trio for the Jaipur based team’s next game.
"He [Mascarehnas] was only limping, though he could hardly walk. He showed a lot of courage to come out and bowl. His ankle is in ice," said Warne.
Warne ealier also feared that Smith might have broken his finger.
"Yusuf might`ve popped something in his shoulder. Not much to smile about, outplayed in everything, and injuries to three pretty big players as well. Can`t get much worse than that," he said.
