"Ashish Nehra won't be fit for the remainder of the tournament," Moody said ahead of their IPL eliminator encounter with Kolkata Knight Riders at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday.

Moody also said that Yuvraj Singh, who sustained a finger injury during SRH’s match against Mumbai Indians, will be confirmed only after the southpaw undergoes a fitness test on Tuesday. "Yuvraj will be undergoing a fitness test this evening. We will be giving him obviously the opportunity to prove his fitness," he said.

Nehra was forced off the field with a hamstring strain during SRH’s league match against Rising Pune Supergiant on May 6 which the Sunrisers went on to lose by 12 runs.

Nehra, who has been key for SRH in the death overs, has been injury-prone for many years now. The 38-year-old featured in only 8 of the 17 of their matches last season, while this season he has played just 6 out of the 14.
