CSK suffer fresh blow as Ramakrishna Ghosh ruled out of IPL 2026 with foot fracture

Chennai Super Kings suffer another blow as all-rounder Ramakrishna Ghosh fractures his foot on IPL debut. MS Dhoni, Khaleel Ahmed also out.

"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. - CSK"

New Delhi, May 3

Chennai Super Kings have suffered another injury setback in the Indian Premier League 2026, with all-rounder Ramakrishna Ghosh ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a fracture in his right foot.

The injury occurred during their home clash against the Mumbai Indians on May 2, which also marked his IPL debut.

"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," CSK wrote in an X post.

His absence further compounds a disrupted season for the five-time champions, Chennai Super Kings, who have already been hit by multiple injuries, including setbacks to speedster Khaleel Ahmed and star batter Ayush Mhatre in recent weeks.

Their pace resources were already stretched before the season began, with star seamer Nathan Ellis sidelined through injury, while his replacement Spencer Johnson was also unavailable until recently due to fitness issues.

Chennai Super Kings have been without their star wicketkeeper/batter MS Dhoni, who has been nursing a calf strain since the start of the season.

Despite being with CSK since March and regularly featuring in practice games and net sessions, widely shared on social media, Dhoni has yet to make an appearance in any of the team's matches so far.

Tough break for the young lad. Foot fractures are nasty - takes months to fully recover. Hope CSK management gives him full support rather than rushing back. Players' long-term health matters more than one season. 🏏

Honestly, CSK's injury list is becoming a joke. They knew MS was injured before season started, why keep hyping his return every week? Now Ghosh, Ellis, Johnson... Poor planning from the management. Paying for lack of backups. 😤

Wishing Ramakrishna a speedy recovery! But seriously, CSK's physios need to answer some tough questions. Five significant injuries before mid-season is alarming. For a team that prides itself on preparation, this is below par. ❤️‍🩹

Feel bad for the guy - debuting and then getting ruled out on same pitch. Chepauk's pitch was under scrutiny for uneven bounce earlier this season. Maybe BCCI should look into surface safety for fast bowlers. 🤔

One positive - this might finally give some young Indian bowlers a chance. With overseas options dropping like flies, CSK will have to play an all-Indian pace attack. Could be blessing in disguise for domestic talent!
