According to the latest reports, Kolkata Knight Riders are expected to be without the services of both Varun Chakravarthy and Mathisha Pathirana for their IPL 2026 match against Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday.
Chakravarthy has reportedly been suffering from a hairline fracture in his toe for almost two weeks, while Pathirana is suspected to have developed a fresh hamstring injury during KKR’s last game.
Varun Chakraborty keeps training sessions short
According to the Cricbuzz report, Varun Chakraborty trained with the KKR team on the eve of the match, but the session was very short and remained away from the media. It was also reported that he was limping on the ground.
Pathirana, on the other hand, is reported to have not trained with the team at all in any practice sessions. During KKR’s win over Gujarat Titans on 16 May, he left the field after bowling just 8 balls, despite it being his first match of the season.
