IPL 2026: 3 players who can replace Khaleel Ahmed in Chennai Super Kings squad
Khaleel Ahmed ruled out of the remainder of the season due to a quadriceps injury.
2) Rajvardhan Hangargekar
Another option for CSK could be Rajvardhan Hangargekar, who has previously been part of the franchise. He is known for his pace, aggressive bowling and was picked by CSK after his impressive performances in the Under-19 World Cup. Although he featured in only two matches during IPL 2023 and proved slightly expensive, he has gained valuable experience since then. Having gone unsold in the IPL 2026 mini-auction after a stint with Lucknow Super Giants in 2025, he could be a viable domestic option for the Chennai-based side.
