D'Arcy Short has has been picked as Warner's replacement in the T20 squad.

KKR should release the likes of Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins, Eoin Morgan and Dinesh Karthik while letting 21-year-old Shubman Gill take over as the captain, said former India batsman Aakash Chopra.

Virat Kohli will return to India after the first Test of the four-match series against Australia.

Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins has played down the impact of Virat Kohli's absence in the upcoming four-match Test series.

Cummins, who returned last week from the UAE where he turned up for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League, has been hopping between bio-secure bubbles.

The KKR pacer ran through Rajasthan Royals top-order in a massive 60-run win after skipper Eoin Morgan’s 68 put 191 on board.

The Aussie pacer has failed to pick up wickets regularly for the franchise and has conceded 98.66 runs for every wicket he has taken.

In the case of names that grab headlines, their performance in the preceding series often hold little value.

The Australian pacer says KKR need to make amends as they take on defending champions Mumbai Indians in the return leg.

Pat Cummins conceded 49 runs off three overs in KKR's opening game of the season against MI, but Dinesh Karthik has said that it's very unfair to judge him after one game.

Cummins, in all, conceded 49 runs in three overs. His economy rate of 16.33 in the game is the joint-second worst by any KKR bowler who has delivered at least three overs in a game. 

Cummins, who is serving room-quarantine following his return from the limited-overs series in England, said he always admired the former New Zealand captain's aggressive approach.

From 149 for eight, England went on to make 231 for nine on a surface where runs were hard to come by. Australia then made a good start before a dramatic collapse saw them slip from 144 for two in the run chase to be 207 all-out.

Two-time winners KKR comprise a heavy pace artillery this time. Most of the bowlers can clock 140-150kph consistently, with the star Australian recruit leading the attack.

KKR will take on defending champions Mumbai Indians on September 23. The 13th edition of the cash-rich league is taking place in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as it had to be moved out of India due to Covid-19 pandemic.
