Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have signed Aaron Finch as a replacement for England batter Alex Hales for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.

Hales has cited bubble fatigue as his reason for withdrawal from the tournament.

Finch, who is Australia’s ICC T20 World Cup-winning captain, has thus far played 88 T20Is and has scored 2,686 runs with the help of 2 hundreds and 15 half-centuries.

Finch, who has played 87 IPL games and has over 2000 IPL runs, will join KKR at the price of Rs. 1.5 crore.

KKR, the two-time IPL champions, will kickstart the IPL 2022 proceedings on Mar 26 when they take on Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
