Ghosh ruled out of IPL 2026 after suffering foot fracture

Chennai Super Kings all‑rounder Ramakrishna Ghosh has been sidelined for the rest of IPL 2026 after fracturing his right foot during his debut against Mumbai Indians on May 2. The franchise confirmed the injury on social media, noting that the 28‑year‑old was hurt at some point during the match, though the exact moment remains uncertain. Ghosh had taken a sharp diving catch to remove Will Jacks and later slipped in his follow‑through while bowling to Naman Dhir. Head coach Stephen Fleming praised his recent progress, highlighting his improved batting and growing confidence in training, and expressed disappointment at losing a player he believes can develop into a genuine all‑rounder.

The setback adds to a difficult season for CSK, who have already lost Khaleel Ahmed and Ayush Mhatre, while Nathan Ellis and Spencer Johnson have also battled injuries. With MS Dhoni still unavailable, the team is expected to announce Ghosh’s replacement soon.
