Who can replace Angkrish Raghuvanshi in IPL 2026?
Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s participation for Kolkata Knight Riders in the upcoming season could be doubtful after the young Mumbai batter suffered a serious head injury during a Vijay Hazare Trophy match.
1. Mayank Agarwal
Karnataka skipper Mayank Agarwal could be a potential replacement for the Kolkata Knight Riders after going unsold at the IPL 2026 mega auction. Despite his experience at the top of the order, no franchise showed interest in him. Last year, Agarwal went unsold until an injury to Devdutt Padikkal opened the door for him at the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who signed him as a replacement player last season.
Mayank’ failed to make an impression. The right-hander struggled to convert starts and could not anchor the innings consistently, which eventually resulted in his release by the franchise. Nevertheless, his domestic form remains solid, including his prolific run-scoring in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and leadership for Karnataka. Agarwal, if given a chance, is expected to strengthen the KKR middle-order and revive his IPL career.
