Calf injury ends Pietersens IPL stint

Rising Pune Supergiants batsman Kevin Pietersen struggles to walk after injuring his leg during the 2016 Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 cricket match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rising Pune Supergiants at The MCA International Cricket Stadium in Pune on April 22, 2016.

Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen will miss the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season due to a calf injury, the flamboyant stroke-maker has said.
The 35-year-old faced only one ball in Rising Pune Supergiants' match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Friday but retired hurt after he damaged the muscle when he turned sharply back to the crease when he aborted an attempted single.
"Over & out, India! Injuries are all part of the job! Horrible tear in my calf!" Pietersen said on his Instagram account.
"Sad to be leaving a really great bunch of boys but looking forward to being back with my family! London bound for a summer off! Vacation till November!" - Agencies
