IPL 2019: Dwayne Bravo ruled out for two weeks with hamstring tear

Dwayne Bravo could be doubtful to play for Chennai Super Kings after suffering a Grade 1 hamstring tear. He has been ruled out for two weeks and won't be available for their match against Kings XI Punjab at Chepauk on Saturday (6 April).

CSK's batting coach, Michael Hussey confirmed the news. "It's going to cause a little bit of rejigging of the team but I am sure we are going to be able to put together a very strong team. It's a big loss but we have had these challenges in the past. Let's hope we can do this again," said Hussey.

Bravo played a vital role for CSK in the 'death' overs. "I am sure MS [Dhoni] and [Stephen] Fleming will be looking at Scott Kuggeleijn and assessing his death bowling skills. We've got Shardul [Thakur]. Mohit [Sharma] can bowl at the death as well. It's about assessing the conditions. If it's turning, I think one of the spinners can bowl at the death. I am sure there will be a lot of strategic thinking and it's a key area of the game," Hussey added.

CSK has seen a series of players missing out this season due to injury. Lungi Ngidi was ruled out before the start of the tournament while David Willey opted out due to the birth of his second child. 

They roped in New Zealand's Scott Kuggeleijn last week as a replacement for Ngidi.
