IPL 2026: KKR Pick Saini As Replacement For Injured Rana; GT Bring In Khejroliya For Prithviraj

By IANS News March 25, 2026 • 20:50 PM View: 115

Kolkata Knight Riders: Three-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have picked Navdeep Saini as a player replacement for the injured Harshit Rana for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, whereas Gujarat Titans have replaced Prithviraj Yarra with Kulwant Khejroliya.

Rana was previously ruled out of the tournament because of a ligament strain in his right knee that he got during the T20 World Cup, further weakening KKR’s bowling unit. Akash Deep and Matheesha Pathirana are also out with injuries.

Saini has previously played for Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
