Harshit Rana Faces Double Blow: Out of World Cup, IPL 2026 Doubtful After Surgery

• Harshit Rana, after a strong 2025 season with 27 wickets, was selected for the T20 World Cup 2026.
• He sustained a knee injury three days before the World Cup in a warm-up match against South Africa.
• Sources indicate Rana requires surgery, making his participation in IPL 2026 highly doubtful.
• This is a major blow for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who retained him for 4 crore rupees.
• Rana's absence further weakens KKR's fast bowling attack, which is already without Mustafizur Rahman.
