KKR suffer another major blow in their bowling department as the Bengal pacer has been ruled out of the race for IPL 2026. The pacer stars for Bengal in the domestic structure of Indian cricket and has represented India internationally.
The IPL has been transformed into the Injured Players League for the Kolkata Knight Riders, as even before the start of their campaign, they have been trashed. Akash Deep has formerly played for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (then Royal Challengers Bangalore) and the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL.
KKR suffer another injury blow ahead of IPL 2026
The Kolkata Knight Riders campaign already faced a massive blow after Harshit Rana was ruled out of IPL 2026. The Indian pacer struggled with an injury ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup; hence, the player was also ruled out of the World Cup squad.
His recovery has been delayed, and hence he has been ruled out. Another player whose participation is also uncertain includes the Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana, who was picked for a whopping INR 18 crores. Even if he were to be cleared to play, that would be nowhere before mid-April.
