Pat Cummins' Indian Premier League season has been cut short by injury.

Cummins has flown home to Sydney to begin his recovery from a minor hip problem, with the expectation he will be available for Australia to face Sri Lanka in June.

Cummins equalled the record for the fastest half-century in the competition's history, reaching the landmark in 14 deliveries.

KKR, however, have not found rhythm and look likely to miss out on the play-offs.

Cummins, therefore, has left the Knight Riders camp early in order to rest up ahead of his international duty.
