Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have appointed a new head coach for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. A potential trade between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) has been confirmed. We have injury updates regarding Shreyas Iyer, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Pratika Rawal. Ajinkya Rahane has expressed displeasure regarding the lack of communication about his Test future. Harshit Rana’s chat with Gautam Gambhir has been revealed.
KKR coaching change
Abhishek Nayar has been appointed as KKR’s head coach for the IPL 2026 season. Having removed Chandrakant Pandit, who helmed the role from 2022 to 2025, KKR has decided to look within instead of outside. Nayar has been involved with the Knights since 2018 and was their assistant coach last season.
Washington Sundar to CSK
The trade talk regarding Washington Sundar seems to be true. Tamil Nadu bowler, K Vignesh, while speaking on Ravichandran Ashwin’s YouTube channel, confirmed that GT will trade the spin-bowling all-rounder to CSK for an all-cash deal, much like they traded Hardik Pandya to MI in 2023.
Shreyas Iyer & Nitish Reddy injury update
Shreyas Iyer will, in all likelihood, be out of action for 3 weeks. Yesterday, Shreyas sustained a left rib cage injury while fielding and was taken to the hospital. Nitish Reddy, who sustained a left quadriceps injury during the second Adelaide ODI, will likely miss the India vs Australia 1st T20I but will be available for selection afterwards.
