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.

Another spiritual guru, Devkinandan Thakur, also accused KKR and Shahrukh Khan of ignoring the plight of Hindus in Bangladesh. He said, “Hindus are being brutally murdered in Bangladesh, their houses are being burnt and their sisters and daughters are being raped. After seeing such brutal murders, how can anyone be so heartless as to include a cricketer from the same country in their team?” He demanded the player be dropped from the team and further said, “As a token of apology and repentance, the Rs 9.2 crore being given to that cricketer should be given to the families of those Hindu children who are being murdered there.”

IPL 2026 Mini-Auction
In the IPL 2026 mini-auction held in Abu Dhabi, KKR included Mustafizur Rahman in the squad for Rs 9.2 crore. The left-arm fast bowler from Bangladesh has taken 65 wickets in 60 matches. He made his IPL debut in 2016.

Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman has been included in Shahrukh Khan’s IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Controversy regarding this decision has increased after the lynching of Hindus in Bangladesh. In this matter, famous storyteller Devkinandan Thakur said that if this player is kept in the team, KKR will be boycotted. Now this matter has reached politics and there is a demand to boycott Shahrukh Khan and his films.

BJP MLA Karnail Singh has reacted to the inclusion of Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman in KKR. According to him this is a very serious matter. He says that there is no dearth of talent of children in our country, but questions arise on the mentality of Bollywood and big actors who call themselves heroes.

Shahrukh Khan has anti-Hindu mentality!
Regarding Bollywood stars, Karnail Singh said that when Hindus are being tortured and massacred in Bangladesh, then these people remain silent, but if any small thing happens in India, they react immediately. Karnail Singh called it an anti-Hindu mentality and also raised direct questions on Shahrukh Khan. He said that they should understand that they should learn to be loyal to the country in which they live. Now is the time, they should improve their attitude. They are unable to express in words the pain and suffocation they feel, but even without words, their impact is having an impact on Hindus.

Karnail Singh said that if someone is so concerned about Bangladeshi players, then he should go to Bangladesh himself. But if you want to live in India, you will have to respect its culture and sentiments. He said that it is important for every person living in India to say ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and learn to show loyalty towards the country.

‘They have always had an anti-Hindu agenda’
Saint Deveshacharya Maharaj of Siddhapeeth Hanumangarhi also supported the statement of Devkinandan Thakur. He said- ‘Devkinandan Thakur is absolutely right. At present, Hindus are being persecuted in Bangladesh, they are being tortured, burnt and driven away. At such a time, if a player from that country is playing in India, then the situation is worrying. Saint Deveshacharya said- ‘Did Shahrukh Khan ever tweet for those Hindus also? Did Shahrukh Khan ever think about those Hindus who are being killed, burnt and tortured there? Never thought because they have always had an anti-Hindu agenda.

‘There should be protest against Shahrukh Khan and his team’
Deveshacharya Maharaj further said- ‘There should be protest against Shahrukh Khan and his team all over India. His films should be boycotted and the team should also be held accountable in this matter. He says that whenever there is any crisis against India or Hindus, Shahrukh Khan never comes forward. In such a situation, what Devkinandan Thakur said is right and according to the need of the time.

Saint Deveshacharya says that the way Hindus are being treated in Bangladesh at present is very wrong. Therefore, Shahrukh Khan should also understand the seriousness of this and should not give any Bangladeshi player a chance to play in his team.

‘Shahrukh should take back his decision’
Akhara Parishad President Mahant Ravindra Puri has also given his opinion on this issue. Talking to IANS, Mahant Ravindra Puri said- ‘Whatever respect and recognition Shahrukh Khan has received, it is because of India and its people. In such a situation, he should fully respect the sentiments of the countrymen and the national interest. Anti-national thinking or decisions that are against the sentiments of the country will not be accepted under any circumstances. Our faith has been hurt by this. I want Shahrukh to take back his decision.
