These 3 players got injured before IPL 2026

Before IPL 2026, Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins has been out of the Australian team for a long time due to injury. Due to this weakness, the Australian team could not even qualify for the Super 8 in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 and was eliminated after losing at the league stage itself. Now there is news that Pat Cummins may stay out of the initial matches of IPL. For this reason, SRH has made Ishan Kishan the captain for the initial matches only.

Australia’s other fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, who is a part of Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL, may also remain out of the initial matches of IPL. Josh Hazlewood will not be able to play the first two matches for RCB due to injury.

Along with KKR, the Indian team has also suffered a big blow.

KKR’s star all-rounder Harshit Rana, who has become the backbone of the Indian team, may be out of IPL 2026. Harshit Rana was injured during the match against New Zealand, after which he had to be ruled out of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 and Mohammad Siraj was included in Team India in his place.

Now if reports are to be believed, it is difficult for KKR too for Harshit Rana to play in IPL 2026. Harshit Rana’s exclusion from IPL 2026 is not good news for KKR’s batting and bowling.
