Kolkata Knight Riders sign Luvnith Sisodia as replacement for injured Matheesha Pathirana
The Karnataka wicketkeeper-batter joined the squad ahead of their final IPL 2026 league match. Pathirana was ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury.
Kolkata Knight Riders signed Karnataka wicketkeeper-batter Luvnith Sisodia as a replacement for injured Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana. The 26-year-old arrived ahead of their final regular-season fixture against Delhi Capitals at Eden Gardens, where Pathirana's hamstring injury ruled him out for the remainder of IPL 2026.
Delhi Capitals beat Kolkata by 40 runs to finish their campaign on a high. KL Rahul's 60 and Kuldeep Yadav's 3 for 29 lifted Delhi above Kolkata in the points table — a result that mattered less for KKR, whose playoff hopes had already evaporated when Rajasthan Royals secured the final qualification spot earlier in the day.
