Kolkata Knight Riders’ wicketkeeper Angkrish Raghuvanshi has unfortunately been ruled out for the rest of IPL 2026 due to a concussion and a fractured finger. The 21-year-old sustained these injuries while trying to take a catch in the match against Mumbai Indians.
Raghuvanshi was having a stellar season with the bat, scoring 422 runs in 12 innings at an impressive average of 42.20 and a strike rate of 146.52. His absence will be a blow to the Knight Riders, who have been performing well and are still in contention for a spot in the playoffs despite a slow start to the season.
In the absence of Raghuvanshi, Delhi batter Tejasvi Dahiya has been brought in as the concussion substitute and may replace him in the upcoming final league game. The team will have to make adjustments to cope with the loss of their first-choice wicketkeeper-batter.
The Knight Riders will have to rely on their remaining players to step up and fill the void left by Raghuvanshi’s absence. It remains to be seen how they will fare in the final stages of the tournament without one of their key players.
The news of Raghuvanshi’s injury is a setback for the Knight Riders, but they will be looking to finish the season strong and secure a place in the playoffs. Published on May 22, 2026.
