KKR’s bowling department became more shattered with the injury to the South African pacer. Nortje was purchased for his base price of INR 20 lakhs. But before the mega-event he suffered from a shoulder injury.

Nortje grabbed attention in the Mzansi Super League where he took 8 wickets in 3 matches. Later he succumbed to an ankle injury. Later he debuted for his country in ODIs against Sri Lanka. There he took eight wickets in four games.

The tall pacer generated healthy pace and will look forward to be named in South Africa’s World Cup squad. But his along with Mavi and Nagarkoti’s absence will definitely hurt KKR’s pace bowling department.
