After multiple injuries and early setbacks in the form of Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman, the franchise's early plans for the tournament have been dented. Ashwin predicted that KKR's lack of depth in the bowling department could restrict them from claiming their fourth IPL title in 2026.
The franchise made massive shuffles as soon as the team needed eight points in the points table in the previous season. Along with making changes in the squad, the management appointed Abhishek Nayar as their new head coach to replace Chandrakant Pandit.
Circumstances hit the team's original plans hard ahead of the IPL 2026 session
The Purple brigade went to the mini auction with a large purse. They bought Australia all-rounder Cameron Green, Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman, and Sri Lanka seamer Matheesha Pathirana for hefty fees.
Ashwin's concerns for the bowling attack
To fill up a spot, the Knight Riders roped in Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani. Ashwin believes that, without Rana and Rahman, and an uncertain Pathirana, the team lacked power in their bowling attack, which will benefit the opposing teams and will eventually halt the Kolkata-based team's trophy-winning plans.
"KKR has the Blessing of Blessing Muzarabani, I am happy for him because he has worked hard and I am excited to see them, but with all the injuries plaguing them, somebody has to do the heavy lifting. I can't see anyone who can do that," Ashwin also added.
