Virat Kohli pens a heartfelt message to Kane Williamson after successful surgery

New Zealand international Kane Williamson was snapped up by Gujarat Titans for INR 2 crore at the IPL 2023 mini-auction held in Kochi in late December 23, 2022. Earlier, Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise released the veteran cricketer from their squad.

They chose not to retain him in the auction. Kane Williamson joined the Ahmedabad-based franchise and he was expected to dictate the terms and carve out a reputation for himself this season.

However, as it turned out, he picked up an unexpected injury near the boundary rope while fielding against Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2023 opener at the world’s largest cricket stadium, Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Kane Williamson looked in total discomfort after the awkward landing at the boundary rope. Meanwhile, the GT physio quickly attended to him to check if he was alright. Kane was taken off the field and later on, it was confirmed that he has been ruled out of the IPL 2023 season.
