In a standout performance, Blessing Muzarabani, the 29-year-old fast bowler from Zimbabwe, took 4 wickets for 41 runs in his second match for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on April 2, 2026. Muzarabani, who replaced Mustafizur Rahman, opened his account by dismissing SRH captain Ishan Kishan and world No. 1 T20I batter Abhishek Shamra in the ninth over. He later took the wickets of Heinrich Klaasen and debutant Shivang Kumar in the final over of SRH's innings. With this performance, he became the second KKR bowler to achieve four wickets against SRH in IPL history, following Prasidh Krishna's record in 2018. Muzarabani has a notable international career, having played 18 Tests, 57 ODIs, and 89 T20Is for Zimbabwe, and he was instrumental in their victory over Australia in the T20 World Cup 2026, where he took 4 wickets for 17 runs.
