Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Ramakrishna Ghosh has fractured his right foot.
The franchise later confirmed the setback in an official update, stating:
“Ramakrishna Ghosh sustained a fracture to his right foot during the CSK v MI match at Chepauk. He will take no further part in IPL 2026. Get well soon, Rambo.”
It is believed he may have hurt himself while losing balance during his bowling follow-through against Naman Dhir, after which he appeared visibly uncomfortable.
The confirmation has added to growing concerns within the CSK camp, as injuries continue to disrupt their campaign at a crucial stage of the tournament.

Injury Woes Mount For Chennai
Ghosh’s absence further compounds what has already been a challenging season for the five-time champions. CSK have struggled with multiple fitness issues, losing key players at different points in the competition.
Indian pacer Khaleel Ahmed has been sidelined, while young batter Ayush Mhatre has also been ruled out in recent weeks. The team’s pace resources were already stretched thin before the season began, with overseas seamer Nathan Ellis unavailable due to injury.
His replacement, Spencer Johnson, too, faced fitness issues and only returned recently, further limiting CSK’s bowling options.
To add to their troubles, veteran star MS Dhoni has been managing a calf strain since the start of the campaign, leaving the side without one of their most experienced figures for large parts.
With injuries piling up, CSK now face a tough challenge to maintain consistency as they push for a place in the IPL 2026 Playoffs.
