In a big blow to the Kolkata Knight Riders, their young wicketkeeper-batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi was ruled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL). KKR are still in the race for the play-offs with one match in hand and have 13 points in their kitty. In case they do make it to the next round, Raghuvanshi will play no part in it die to a concussion and a fracture on a finger on his left hand.
“Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been ruled out of 2026 TATA Indian Premier League after sustaining a concussion and a fracture to a finger on his left hand while attempting a catch during Kolkata Knight Riders’s match against Mumbai Indians on Wednesday, 20 May,” the franchise confirmed in a statement.
