Chennai Super Kings have suffered a big scare ahead of the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League with one of their new recruits sustaining an injury. Prashant Veer, who caught CSK’s eye at the mini-auction and became the joint most expensive uncapped signing in IPL history, picked up an injury during a Ranji Trophy match. The Uttar Pradesh youngster picked up the injury while fielding against Jharkhand. The incident occurred in the 30th over, shortly before the lunch break, when Prashant dived to cut off a shot from Jharkhand batter Shikhar Mohan and landed awkwardly on his right shoulder.

It was a scary scene at the ground with Prashant lying motionless in the middle for a few minutes before physio came to check on him. He was taken out of the stadium and went to the hospital for scans. He returned to the stadium with a sling on his arm and is unlikely to take part in the game further.
