ngkrish raghuvanshiKolkata Knight Riders' participation in the upcoming season is in doubt after the young Mumbai batsman suffered a serious head injury during the Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Uttarakhand in Jaipur.
The 21-year-old was taken to a nearby hospital after suffering the injury while attempting a difficult catch at deep midwicket. Chasing the upper edge of Saurabh Rawat's slog-sweep, Raghuvanshi moved forward quickly and dived at full length, taking a hit on his shoulder and hitting his head on the turf. He was taken off the field and taken to SDMH hospital, where he is under observation and has been scanned.
Although his condition is said to be stable, the injury has raised concerns for KKR, who have retained the batsman for the IPL 2026 season. However, if Raghuvanshi fails to recover in time, the three-time IPL champions may look for a replacement player from the pool of unsold players.

Abhinav Manohar Another reliable replacement option for KKR. Known primarily for his power-hitting abilities, Manohar has also shown that he has the skills to play the anchor role when the situation demands.
The Karnataka batsman was in impressive form during the Maharajas T20 Trophy 2025, scoring 284 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 165. He had an underwhelming IPL 2025 campaign with Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he managed only 61 runs in eight matches and ultimately went unsold in the mini-auction. The 31-year-old player can fit perfectly into the KKR line-up.
