Anukul has played a quiet but useful role for KKR in IPL 2026. He has taken eight wickets in 13 matches while helping his team push for a playoff spot. Although he hasn’t got many chances to bat, his best moment came against Rajasthan Royals at Eden Gardens. He scored an unbeaten 29 runs when his team needed a calm hand.
