Mustafizur Rahman Will Not Play In The IPL 2026: Bangladeshi fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman will no longer play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. There was huge protest against Mustafizur in India. This protest was against the violence against people of minority Hindu community in Bangladesh. Shahrukh Khan’s team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has been ordered by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that KKR can drop Mustafizur Rahman from its squad. In such a situation, it is now clear that no Bangladeshi player will be seen playing in IPL 2026.
KKR got a shock before IPL 2026
Shahrukh Khan’s team KKR has suffered a setback before IPL 2026. This franchise had bought death over specialist Mustafizur Rahman at a huge price in the mini auction, but now KKR will have to find a replacement for this Bangladeshi player. Amidst the protests in India regarding Mustafizur, BCCI instructed KKR that they can drop Mustafizur from the team. The same thing happened and he is out of IPL 2026.
Which teams had bid on Mustafizur?
Delhi Capital had started the opening bid for Mustafizur Rahman in the mini auction held at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi for IPL 2026. As Delhi bid, Chennai Super Kings also jumped into the bidding for him. The bid between Delhi and CSK reached Rs 5.40 crore. In such a situation, Delhi withdrew itself. As soon as Delhi backed out, KKR entered the bidding war. KKR team had entered the auction with the biggest purse. In such a situation, it was clear that she would not allow CSK to buy this Bangladeshi player at any cost and this is what happened. This was the reason why the bid between CSK and KKR had reached Rs 9 crore 20 lakh.
For which teams has Mustafizur played in IPL?
After former Bangladesh star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman has been the second biggest Bangladeshi player who has left his mark in the IPL. This is the reason why Mustafizur has played for five teams each in IPL. Mustafizur played maximum three seasons for Delhi Capitals and two seasons he stayed in Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mustafizur has played one season each for Rajasthan, CSK and Mumbai. If we look at his record in IPL, he has played a total of 60 matches, in which he has taken 65 wickets.
