Kolkata Knight Riders have started their campaign on a sour note. The three-time champions faced setback after setback even before the season began. It all started with BCCI directing the Shah Rukh Khan co-owned franchise to release Mustafizur Rahman from their team. Matheesha Pathirana injured himself during the ICC event. Pathirana, who has not been ruled out of the IPL, is yet to receive medical clearance from Sri Lanka Cricket. Akash Deep was then ruled out of the tournament, suffering an injury before the IPL 2026 began.
