Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson Anand Dubey has warned Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) owner Shah Rukh Khan regarding the inclusion of Bangladeshi bowler Mustafizur Rahman for the IPL 2026 season. Dubey alleged that earnings from Rahman's participation could fund anti-India activities and terrorism. He stated that Khan would be respected if the player is removed, but warned of consequences if he plays. This statement follows similar remarks from BJP leaders and religious figures, escalating the issue beyond sports into a matter of national interest.
