Setback for Rajasthan Royals, Brad Hodge ruled out of CLT20 final

New Delhi: Rajasthan Royals were dealt a massive blow ahead of their Champions League Twenty20 summit clash as destructive batsman Brad Hodge, who injured his knee in the semifinal, was declared unfit for Sunday’s final.

The Aussie had to go off the field, and scans were performed on his knee, of which result is awaited.

The 38-year-old has scored 109 runs in three innings, including two not-outs at a strike rate of 198.

His unbeaten 52 off 23 balls against Otago Volts was instrumental in Royals securing a home semi-final, which they won by 14 runs.
