Topley, who signed on with RCB for Rs 1.90 crore at the IPL 2023 auction, dislocated his right shoulder while fielding for Faf du Plessis and company in the season’s opening game against Mumbai Indians. Head coach Mike Hesson provided an update on Topley’s injury situation and said that the RCB were awaiting the initial report from the England pacer. “Unfortunately, his knee hit the ground, and he fell, dislodging his shoulder. We were lucky enough that the physicians were able to save it, Hesson said on the RCB YouTube channel.
I was shocked he didn’t receive more opportunities in Team India, according to Sehwag, who made the bold “Dhoni” forecast for Gaikwad.
He is off having scans right now. Reece should be able to join us if the preliminary reports are positive. If not, (but) we’ll have to wait and see what happens; hopefully, he’ll be okay. In Mumbai’s inning, during the eighth over, Topley sustained a shoulder injury. Only 2 overs were bowled by the England pacer versus MI, and he gave up 14 runs. The pivotal wicket of Cameron Green during the high-stakes match between Bangalore and Mumbai in Bengaluru was taken by Topley.
Topley has participated in 22 ODIs and 22 T20 Internationals for England. Due to an ankle ailment, the England fast bowler previously withdrew from the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Josh Hazlewood, a fast bowler for RCB, is already absent and is anticipated to sit out the first seven IPL 2023 games. Rajat Patidar, a veteran player for RCB, may miss the first part of the IPL 2023 season due to a heel injury. Match No. 9 of the IPL 2023 will take place at the Eden Gardens on Thursday and pit Royal Challengers Bangalore against the Kolkata Knight Riders, a former champion.
