Chennai Super Kings lost that match

The match in which Rituraj Gaikwad was hurt was lost by Chennai Super Kings by 6 runs.

Surprisingly, despite the injury, Gaikwad scored 63 runs in that match. The question is that despite Gaekwad suffered such a serious injury, he played two more matches. He was able to score 5 runs against Delhi and he could score a run against Punjab and now he has been out of the tournament before the match against KKR.
