IPL 2026: Harshit Rana Arrives In Kolkata, Set To Cheer For KKR In Their Clash Against PBKS
IPL Chairman Arun Singh Dhumal: Three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have received a familiar face in their camp as injured seam-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana arrived in the city to support the franchise ahead of their crucial clash against Punjab Kings (PBKS), to be played at Eden Gardens on Monday evening.
“Look who’s here to cheer for the Knights tonight. Harshit Rana is in Kolkata, to spend a day with his KKR Family,” the franchise posted on its social media handles, clarifying that the youngster is only here to encourage the side and spend time with his KKR teammates.
Rana was ruled out of playing for KKR in IPL 2026 due to his ongoing recovery from the knee surgery he underwent in February, with the side drafting India pacer Navdeep Saini as his replacement in the squad. He suffered a ligament strain in his right knee during the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup warm-up game against South Africa in Navi Mumbai and pulled out after having delivered just one over.
