Serious blow! KKR leader ruled out until the end of IPL 2026
One of the key architects of the Kolkata Knight Riders' comeback this season, the young and fearless batsman Angkrish Raghuvanshi, will play no further part in IPL 2026.
Details: Medical examinations have confirmed that the 20-year-old has suffered a concussion and a serious fracture of his left hand finger. The rising star is forced to end his tournament early and will now embark on a lengthy rehabilitation process.
The shocking incident took place during the victory over Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens. Trying to take a difficult catch in the 11th over, Raghuvanshi, sprinting at full speed, collided with his own teammate, Varun Chakravarthy.
Angkrish left the field showing clear signs of dizziness and severe pain, and further tests the next day revealed an additional hidden fracture.
