Afraid of BCCI punishment? KKR star intercepted, avoided aggressive celebrations. cricket news

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) fast bowler Harshit Rana is enjoying a fantastic season in the Indian Premier League (IPL), where he has taken 11 wickets so far. The 22-year-old player has impressed many experts and veteran cricketers with his stellar performance in IPL 2024 and his performance has also earned him a place in the T20 World Cup squad. However, Harshit has been involved in a few incidents that did not go down well with fans or even former cricketers.

During the Harshit season, Sunrisers Hyderabad batsman Mayank Agarwal came under the scanner for bidding farewell by giving him a flying kiss.

BCCI had deducted 60 percent of this player’s match fee and former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar had also criticized him for this action.

On Monday, Harshit could once again be in the headlines when he gave an almost similar farewell after dismissing Delhi Capitals’ Abhishek Porel in the seventh over.

Porel hit him for two consecutive fours but ultimately Harshit got the last laugh. Excited by the wicket, Harshit gestured towards the batsman and showed him the way to the dugout.

However, after remembering the heavy punishment from BCCI, he stopped himself from crossing the limit.

Talking about the game, DC won the toss and elected to bat first and they never really got going as a batting unit. Captain Rishabh had scored 27 runs in 20 balls with the help of two fours and a six and he looked to be the only batsman to make a good contribution until spinner Kuldeep Yadav (35* in 26 balls, with five fours and a six) ) didn’t help the Capitals save face. And the score in its 20 overs is 153/9.

Chasing a target of 154, Phil Salt (68 off 33 balls, hitting seven fours and five sixes) single-handedly won the game for DC. Although DC got a few wickets, captain Shreyas Iyer (33 runs in 23 balls with the help of three fours and a six) and Venkatesh Iyer (26 runs in 23 balls with the help of three fours and a six) helped KKR to seven wickets and 21 runs.
