Rovman Powell's Injury in IPL 2026

During the IPL 2026 match between LSG and KKR at Ekana Cricket Stadium on April 26, West Indies star Rovman Powell sustained a significant injury while attempting to catch a ball. Powell successfully caught a delivery from Mitchell Marsh but landed awkwardly on his left hand, which led to him leaving the field.
