KKR's Pathirana Set to Miss Early IPL 2026 Action
Mid-April Return for the Young Gun, Harshit Rana Likely Out
CricPlay1 min read
Bad news for KKR fans as Matheesha Pathirana will be sidelined for the start of IPL 2026. Head coach Abhishek Nayar confirmed the young pacer's availability will only kick in from mid-April. It’s a blow for a side that thrives on his fiery bowling.
To add salt to the wound, Harshit Rana seems to be heading for the exit door as well, all but ruled out of the tournament. KKR will need to dig deep into their squad to fill these gaps and keep their campaign alive.
As the IPL heats up, fans will be watching closely to see how KKR adapts without their key bowlers. Can they find the right replacements to keep the dream alive?
