Chennai Super Kings’ all-rounder Ramakrishna Ghosh will miss the remainder of IPL 2026 after sustaining a right foot fracture during a match against Mumbai Indians on May 2. Ghosh, aged 28, suffered the injury during his IPL debut, following a notable diving catch to dismiss Will Jacks. The exact moment of the injury remains uncertain, possibly occurring after a tumble while bowling to Naman Dhir.
CSK confirmed Ghosh’s season-ending injury, expressing well wishes for his recovery. Head coach Stephen Fleming, in a post-match briefing, acknowledged Ghosh’s recent progress and versatility as a player. Fleming highlighted Ghosh’s batting skills as a significant improvement, labeling him as a valuable all-rounder for the team.
The absence of Ghosh compounds Chennai Super Kings’ challenges in an already injury-plagued season. The team has grappled with various setbacks, including the absence of key players like Khaleel Ahmed and Ayush Mhatre due to injuries. Moreover, the team faced limitations in their pace options even before the season commenced, with injuries to Nathan Ellis and Spencer Johnson. Star player MS Dhoni’s ongoing calf strain further adds to CSK’s woes.
With the mounting injury concerns, Chennai Super Kings’ depth will be severely tested as they navigate through a demanding IPL 2026 season without another crucial player.
