BCCI Following the instructions of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Has released Bangladesh’s fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman. He will no longer play in IPL 2026. KKR bought Mustafizur Rahman in the IPL 2026 auction for Rs 9.20 crore. In such a situation, the question now is whether KKR will have to pay this money to Mustafizur Rahman or not., Know here what is the rule of IPL regarding this.

Whenever a team buys a player in the IPL auction, money is deducted from its purse. However, Mustafizur Rahman is not out of IPL due to any injury. His case is completely different. According to the rules of IPL, now KKR will not have to pay any money to Mustafizur Rahman of Bangladesh.

According to IPL rules, if BCCI directs to drop a player for any reason other than cricket, then the entire amount spent on that player is returned to the franchise. This situation is called ‘Force Majeure’. This is such an extraordinary situation which is not under anyone’s control. In these cases the franchise is not obliged to fulfill the contract made with the player. For this reason, Mustafizur Rahman will not get any amount after being released by KKR.

In the last few days, due to the changed political situation in Bangladesh, violence against Hindus has increased, in which many lives have been lost. Incidents of public lynching and violence against Hindus have led to strong protests by religious and social organizations in India and opposition to fielding any Bangladeshi player in the IPL. Campaigns have been run on a large scale regarding this. In view of the increasing demand for not playing Bangladeshi players in the IPL, BCCI had on January 3 directed KKR to release Mustafizur Rahman. KKR released Rahman just hours after BCCI’s instructions.
