Blessing Muzarabani vs SRH: In the sixth match of IPL 2026, Sunrisers Hyderabad displayed stormy batting at Eden Gardens and scored a huge score of 226 runs in 20 overs. Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers scored a lot of runs in this match, but one bowler caught everyone’s attention with his brilliant bowling. The special thing is that no one bought this player in the auction, but KKR gambled on this player as a replacement and took full advantage of the opportunity.

Deadly bowling by KKR player

Zimbabwean fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani performed amazingly for Kolkata Knight Riders. He took 4 wickets for 41 runs in 4 overs. Muzarabani sent Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen and Shivang Kumar to the pavilion. Due to his lethal bowling, Hyderabad’s score was saved from getting even bigger. Blessing Muzarabani also bowled 9 dot balls during this period, which was the highest compared to other bowlers. At the same time, with these 4 wickets, he has also gone ahead in the race for Purple Cap.

Blessing Muzarabani’s luck favored her

The special thing was that Blessing Muzarabani was not bought by any franchise in the IPL 2026 auction. But KKR signed him as a replacement and took full advantage of the opportunity. Muzarabani proved with his excellent bowling that the decision to give him a chance proved to be right for KKR.

Muzarabani was currently playing for Islamabad United in Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026. But he withdrew his name from PSL to play IPL. He was included in the team in place of Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman, whose contract was terminated. Interestingly, Muzarabani had also joined PSL as a replacement player. This performance can also prove important for Blessing Muzarabani’s career.
