Following the acquisition of Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 9.20 crore, calls have emerged for his removal from the IPL. Shiv Sena leaders cited recurring violent incidents against religious minorities in Bangladesh and urged KKR owner Shah Rukh Khan to drop Rahman. They expressed concern that Rahman's participation could make Khan a target of public anger and potentially harm India's interests, suggesting a ban on Bangladeshi players in the IPL.
