Whenever cricketers swap signatures with fans, it’s usually the small items—caps, jerseys, balls or other trinkets—that become lifelong keepsakes. Ahead of Kolkata Knight Riders’ IPL 2026 fixture against Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday, Angkrish Raghuvanshi had one of those fun, off-the-field moments with supporters.
The interaction turned playful when a fan cheekily asked the youngster for his KKR cap. Raghuvanshi’s reply was instant and witty, and it quickly drew laughter from everyone nearby.

KKR’s tough campaign so far
Even with Raghuvanshi’s steady returns, KKR’s IPL 2026 run has been difficult. They opened with a defeat to Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, going down by six wickets.
After that, they couldn’t find momentum at home, suffering a heavy 65-run loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The third match against Punjab Kings was washed out, leaving KKR with only a single point from the abandoned contest.
They then faced another setback, losing to Lucknow Super Giants. With just one point from four games, KKR are struggling to build the kind of early momentum that typically sets the tone for a strong title push.
As the tournament moves through its early stages, KKR will look to regroup and respond immediately—starting with their clash against Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday—while Raghuvanshi aims to keep his form ticking and help lift the team’s fortunes.
