Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler Harshit Rana has impressed many experts and veteran cricketers with his stellar show in IPL 2024, where he picked up 11 wickets in eight matches. However, there was one act that did not go down well with fans or even former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, when he gave a flying-kiss send-off to Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Mayank Agarwal earlier this season during an IPL match. Rana was later slapped with a heavy fine by the BCCI.
On Monday, during Kolkata Knight Riders’ match against Delhi Capitals at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Rana was all set to repeat his act after dismissing Abhishek Porel in the seventh over. In his previous over, the DC batter only smashed the fast bowler for two boundaries and a six in three consecutive deliveries. Elated at getting the better of Porel and having the last laugh in that contest, Rana was almost going to give another flying-kiss send-off. He first gestured with his hand towards Porel, showing him the way back to the dugout, but then quickly stopped himself after recalling the brutal punishment he was given by the BCCI.
