IPL: NZ all-rounder Scott Kuggeleijn joins Chennai Super Kings

New Zealand all-rounder Scott Kuggeleijn will join Indian Premier League outfit Chennai Super Kings, replacing injured South African seamer Lungi Ngidi, who has been ruled out of the rest of the tournament.

Kuggeleijn, 27, made his T20 debut for Black Caps this year, having first played One-Day International two years ago.


The controversial kiwi has faced two trials over charges of raping a woman in 2015.

But his selection in the national team this year was highly shocking as a result, and he faced a hostile welcome from fans and commentators.

Kuggeleijn is expected to join the defending champions next week.

Super Kings are currently 2nd in the league table, behind Kolkata Knight Riders.
