CSK's Ramakrishna Ghosh bowls a delivery against Mumbai Indians in IPL w026. (PTI)Injuries doesn't seem to leave Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the ongoing Indian Premier league (IPL) after Ramakrishna Ghosh was ruled out for the rest of the season, just a day after making his debut against Mumbai Indians. While the exact nature of Ghosh's fracture remains unclear, it seems the 28-year-old picked up the injury while bowling.
Against Mumbai Indians at Chepauk, Ghosh did tumble on his followthrough after bowling his first-ever ball in IPL to Naman Dhir. Following that, Ghosh bowled two more overs and took the wicket of Suryakumar Yadav for his maiden IPL wicket. On the field, Ghosh dived forward to complete the catch with both hands to dismiss Will Jacks off Anshul Kamboj.
Sharing the news on their social media handles, CSK wrote, “Ramakrishna Ghosh sustained a fracture to his right foot during the CSK v MI match at Chepauk. He will take no further part in IPL 2026. Get well soon, Rambo,”
Ghosh's injury further adds misery to already injury-laden five-time champions. They lost Nathan Ellis even before the tournament started before Khaleel Ahmed, Ayush Mhatre added themselves into the list. Spencer Johnson, who was signed as a replacement
They lost their lead Indian seamer Khaleel Ahmed and star batter Ayush Mhatre over the last two weeks. They had already been without Nathan Ellis before the start of the season, while his replacement, Spencer Johnson, was unavailable until recently due to an injury of his own. CSK have also been without their talisman MS Dhoni since the start of the season, with the former captain battling a calf strain.
