Roy didn’t open for his side as KKR have been tasked to case 236 runs. Neither did he come to the crease when Sunil Narine was dismissed for a duck. But after Venkatesh Iyer’s dismissal, Roy did make his way into the crease.
Jason Roy had a calf problem during Pakistan Super League even though he slammed a century. He returned to England’s T20 side after missing out on the T20 World Cup berth due to a massive dip in form. But in form, he is now struggling with a calf injury.
“In football transfers, there is a mandatory medical for all players. He is coming as a substitute player. If he has a history of injury and had a calf issue in PSL, he should have had a medical before coming to IPL,” Sunil Gavaskar said during a commentary stint.
