The 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is currently taking place in the two cities Chennai and Mumbai. However, amidst the rigors of the game, some cricketers are also observing fast in the holy month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. In the meantime, Kane Williamson and David Warner was also learned to be keeping fast.
Kane, who’s currently with the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), accompanied his teammates Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi, and Khaleel Ahmed. David Warner, the Sunrisers’ skipper, also decided to fast along with his teammates. Ramadan, also known as the month of fasting, starts and ends with the appearance of the crescent moon.

Talking about the same during the post-match conference, “We have to speak to the physios, he’s (Williamson) coming along nicely and plays a big role in our squad. “
After the match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) where SRH lost by six runs, Trevor Bayliss, their head coach, also updated on Kane’s fitness. “We had two days of practice before the RCB game, and Kane Williamson practiced in one of the days. So, he’s coming along,” Bayliss had said.

He further added, “We just felt that Kane needed a little bit of extra time to get match fit and a little bit more time in the nets. He would have played in place of Jonny Bairstow obviously if that had occurred. But we aren’t too perturbed about that, Jonny has been in form recently in white-ball cricket here in India. Kane will obviously come into calculations as the tournament unfolds.”
