This Special Report details the political controversy after Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) purchased Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman for Rs 9.2 crore in the IPL 2026 auction. The program covers criticism from former BJP MLA Sangeet Som, who labeled Khan a ‘traitor’ for the decision, citing alleged persecution of minorities in Bangladesh. Host Gaurav Sawant discusses whether sports should be linked to diplomatic tensions and questions the role of the BCCI, which stated it has no government directive to ban players from Bangladesh. The report also analyzes the broader crisis in Bangladesh under the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government, with former diplomat Veena Sikri and analyst Abhijit Iyer Mitra. Additionally, the broadcast covers a letter from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to Delhi riots accused Umar Khalid and a report from Pranay Upadhyay on protests in Iran over a currency collapse, which prompted a warning from US President Donald Trump.
