In the 47th match of the ongoing IPL 2024, the teams of Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals were face to face. The match between these two teams was played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Delhi won the toss and decided to bat first, which proved completely wrong for them. During this match, one incident of Harshit Rana captured fan’s attention.
The top order of the Delhi Capitals disintegrated in front of the excellent bowling of KKR. Delhi lost three important wickets of its top order in the powerplay itself. On the other hand, a funny incident also happened during this match.
When Harshit Rana dismissed Abhishek Porel on a cutter ball in the 7th over of Delhi’s innings, he wanted to do a flying kiss celebration after dismissing Porel, but then suddenly he stopped and did not do it.
The reason behind this was that when he had done this gesture earlier, he was fined for violating the IPL code of conduct. But when Harshit was celebrating his wicket after dismissing Porel, the video of his new gesture quickly went viral on social media.
