The Story in Brief
Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Kolkata Knight Riders' highest run-getter in IPL 2026 with 422 runs, has been named in Mumbai's squad for the Dr (Capt) K Thimmappiah Memorial Trophy 2026-27. The 22-year-old wicketkeeper-batter missed the T20 Mumbai League after fracturing a finger on his left hand and undergoing surgery in London.
Mumbai chief selector Rajesh Pawar confirmed Raghuvanshi is fit to play. Another young Mumbai batter, Ayush Mhatre, who hurt his hamstring playing for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2026, is still rehabilitating at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. The pre-season red-ball tournament begins September 1 in Bengaluru.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that IPL injuries derail young careers is overblown. Raghuvanshi's quick return after finger surgery shows modern medical care at work. But Mhatre's lingering hamstring issue is a reminder that not all injuries heal at the same pace. The real test for Raghuvanshi: can he translate his T20 power into reliable red-ball runs for Mumbai this season?
