KKR Sign Zimbabwe Fast Bowler Blessing Muzarabani for IPL 2026 Season

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have signed Zimbabwe fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani as a replacement for Bangladesh's Mustafizur Rahman ahead of the IPL 2026 season starting March 28. Muzarabani, known for his height, steep bounce, and T20 experience with over 90 wickets in 80+ internationals, withdrew from the Pakistan Super League to join KKR. His addition aims to strengthen KKR's pace attack amid injuries to key bowlers. Mustafizur was released due to geopolitical tensions between India and Bangladesh and subsequently joined the PSL.
