New Delhi, March 21 -- There seems to be no ending to Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) injury woes as India pacer Akash Deep has been ruled out of the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) with an injury. The right-arm fast bowler thus became the second bowler after Harshit Rana is also believed to take no part in the tournament. An official confirmation is awaited.

Based on a Cricbuzz report, a top KKR official confirmed Akash Deep's unavailability for IPL 2026. "Unfortunately, he is out of the IPL, ruled out for the season," the KKR official said. After playing limited matches for Lucknow Super Giants last year due to injury, Akash Deep impressed everyone with his performances in England for India in the Test series.
