Hamstring injury rules Smith out of IPL finals
Mumbai: The Rajasthan Royals suffered a blow ahead of the Indian Premier League finals tomorrow with South African captain and opener Graeme Smith ruled out of the match due to a hamstring injury.

"Unfortunately, he (Smith) is out for tomorrow's game. We have to make the big decision to make on who will open the innings with Swapnil (Asnodkar)," Rajasthan Royals captain Shane Warne said today at an event organised by Advanced Hair Studio, of which he is a brand ambassador.

"Younis Khan and Kamran Akmal come to my mind as being likely to open in the finals," Warne said.
