Harshit Rana, the mainstay of KKR’s pace attack, has been ruled out of IPL-19, which begins on March 28. Having injured a ligament on his right knee in a warm-up game, the 24-year-old missed the T20 World Cup, and the Knights are already looking for HIS replacement. 

“It’s a big blow. Harshit has been an integral part of this team for the last few seasons. It’s not easy to replace him. The team management is evaluating multiple options and we will make a decision on his replacement soon,” coach Abhishek Nayar said.
