KKR suffered a big blow in their IPL 2026 playoffs race during the game against Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens on Wednesday. Keeper and leading run-getter Angkrish Raghuvanshi was taken off the field after an injury during the first innings. KKR were forced to bring in Ramandeep Singh as a concussion substitute as a result.
What happened to Angkrish Raghuvanshi?
Angkrish Raghuvanshi was forced to leave the field after reportedly suffering a finger injury. Tejasvi Singh Dahiya entered the ground as the substitute wicket-keeper for KKR as Raghuvanshi was receiving treatment for the injury.
However, it was not clear when did he suffered the injury. Suddenly, the physio rushed onto the field as it appeared that Raghuvanshi hurt his finger while keeping behind the stumps. The physio attended the youngster and then took him off the field along with him for further assessment. Earlier, he was involved in a collision with Varun Chakravarthy when they dropped Tilak Varma.
Tejasvi Dahiya was quickly seen taking over the wicket-keeping duties for Kolkata Knight Riders. Dahiya is a highly rated keeper batter, but is yet to make his debut for the franchise. The franchise used the concussion substitute, bringing in Ramandeep Singh.
