Gujarat Titans newly-signed player Robin Minz met with an accident on Saturday while riding his bike and the 21-year-old is now under observation after sustaining minor injuries.

Minz was riding his Kawasaki superbike when he collided with another bike, leaving him losing control.

The unfortunate news was confirmed by his father Francis Minz who also informed that Robin had just minor “bruises" and is currently under observation.

“He lost control when his bike came in contact with another bike. Nothing serious at the moment and he is currently under observation," said Francis.

While the front part of the bike was heavily damaged after the accident, the wicketkeeper-batter Minz suffered some bruises on his right knee.

Notably, Minz recently reached home after representing Jharkhand in the Col CK Nayudu Trophy.

He played a remarkable knock of 137 runs in the quarter-final against Karnataka which wasn't enough for his side, ending up on the losing side.

The left-handed batter was set to join for the pre-season camp but now it seems that there will be a delay in his link-up with the last year's finalists.

Minz was bought by Titans for a promising price of INR 3.6 crore at the mini-auction that took place in December last year.

Recently, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill met Minz's father while leaving Ranchi after the fourth India-England Test.

Talking about Minz, he is a left-handed attacking batter and is a huge fan of MS Dhoni.

His cricketing journey has been guided by experienced coach Chanchal Bhattacharya, who also mentored the former Indian captain.

Minz first came into the limelight when he was scouted by Mumbai Indians but the player underwent trials with various franchises as well including Lucknow Supergiants, Delhi Capitals, and Kolkata Knight Riders.

Despite remaining unsold in the IPL 2023 auction, Minz managed to gain big in this edition.

He might make his IPL debut in the IPL 2024 as the franchise could think over his competition for the spot of a wickekeeper-batter alongside experienced Wriddhiman Saha.

While IPL 2024 is all set to kick off with the first match between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore on March 22, Gujarat Titans will begin their campaign against Mumbai Indians on March 24.
