He grabbed 13 wickets in 6 matches at the tournament! Zimbabwe topped their group reaching the Super Eight stage. Muzarabani finished just one wicket short of being the leading wicket-taker.
That performance caught KKR’s attention immediately for IPL 2026! The three-time champions signed him as a replacement player. Blessing Muzarabani chose IPL 2026 over his PSL commitment.

Previous PSL-IPL Breach Case
This isn’t the first time PCB faced this situation! Last season, Corbin Bosch ditched Peshawar Zalmi for the Mumbai Indians. The South African all-rounder was a Diamond Pick.

Legal action sends a strong message to players under PSL contracts! Choose PSL or face serious penalties later. PCB to take action against Blessing Muzarabani demonstrates their seriousness.
IPL 2026 starts March 28 with KKR facing the Mumbai Indians! Muzarabani will play for KKR while facing legal troubles. PSL loses another quality pacer to IPL’s superior attraction.
