The unfortunate incident occurred during Kolkata's crucial four-wicket victory over the Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens. While the win kept KKR’s postseason ambitions mathematically alive, losing their leading run-scorer severely dents their lineup ahead of a must-win clash against Delhi Capitals on Sunday.

The injury sequence unfolded during the 11th over of the Mumbai Indians' innings when Raghuvanshi sprinted from behind the stumps to attempt a high, swirling catch off Varun Chakravarthy's bowling. Due to a breakdown in communication, Raghuvanshi collided heavily with Chakravarthy mid-pitch.
While the bowler escaped unhurt, Raghuvanshi was left visibly shaken. He initially tried to play through the discomfort but was forced to leave the field after three overs. In IPL 2026, Raghuvanshi amassed 422 runs in 13 appearances for KKR, which includes five half-centuries, with a top-score of 82 not-out.
