The 21-year-old was rushed to a nearby hospital after suffering concussion while attempting a difficult catch at deep mid-wicket. Chasing a top edge from Saurabh Rawat’s slog sweep, Raghuvanshi sprinted in and dived the full length, hurting his shoulder and hitting his head on the turf. He was stretchered off the field and taken to SDMH Hospital, where he remains under observation and has undergone scans.
While his condition is reportedly stable, the injury has raised concerns for KKR, who retained the batsman for the 2026 IPL 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.
Here are the 3 Cricketers who can replace Angkrish Raghuvanshi in IPL 2026
3. Abhinav Manohar
Abhinav Manohar is another reliable replacement option for KKR. Best known for his power-hitting skills, Manohar has also shown that he has the skills to play the role of anchor when the situation calls for it.
The Karnataka batsman was impressive during the 2025 Maharaja T20 Trophy, scoring 284 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 165. His IPL 2025 campaign with Sunrisers Hyderabad was disappointing, where he scored just 61 runs in eight matches, ultimately going unsold at the mini-auction. The 31-year-old could be a good fit in the KKR line-up.
