IPL 2026: KKR Rope In Saurabh Dubey As Replacement For Injured Akash Deep
ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup: Three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have signed Vidarbha’s tall, left-arm fast bowler Saurabh Dubey as a replacement for injured India pacer Akash Deep, who was ruled out of the competition due to a stress reaction in his lower back.
Dubey was signed by 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for IPL 2022 but his stint was cut short due to a back injury. “Yes, Saurabh Dubey has been signed by KKR as a replacement for Akash Deep for the upcoming season. Dubey was a net bowler for KKR and was practising with them at Eden Gardens and in their camp in Mumbai, but he will now be in the main squad,” said a franchise official to IANS on Sunday.
Dubey, 28, is yet to make his IPL debut and had gone unsold at the mini-auction in Abu Dhabi last year. But since he had registered for the auction, Dubey became a part of the Registered Available Player Pool (RAPP), from where any of the ten franchises can pick replacements for their injured players.
