Indian Premier League (IPL) teams Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are going to face each other on April 15. However, the Punjab-based team has been given a major shock to their lineup before this clash, as their pace bowler Lockie Ferguson has been injured.
Ahead of the clash against KKR, PBKS bowling coach James Hopes stated, “Ferguson is out indefinitely, I think, and us getting him back by the end of the tournament is a very low percentage. I think he’s done a real decent injury to himself.”

Lockie Ferguson left the field after he bowled just two balls in the clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Though the extent of his injury is not known, he was seen using his hand to support his left thigh when leaving the field.
Ferguson has taken five wickets in four matches for PBKS, and him being ruled out will be a great shock for the Shreyas Iyer -led side.
Punjab Kings also have some other options to replace Lockie Ferguson, including Australian fast bowler Xavier Bartlett. Afghanistan all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai is also included in the team.
Ferguson also missed the Champions Trophy for New Zealand due to a hamstring injury while playing in the ILT20 earlier this year. He had earlier suffered a calf injury in late 2024.
