In a high-scoring match at Eden Gardens, KKR set the tone by achieving the first 200-run score in IPL 2024. SRH, however, matched the pace early on, accumulating 27 runs in the initial three overs.
Rana, who had started impressively by conceding only five runs in his first over, faced a setback in the fourth over, leaking 13 runs to Mayank, who struck a six and a four.
The game took an intriguing turn in the sixth over when Rana challenged Mayank with a short ball. Mayank attempted to capitalize on it but ended up finding Rinku Singh at deep square leg and departed.
Despite this, Rana’s actions didn’t end there as he provocatively blew a kiss towards Mayank, who chose not to retaliate but maintained a stern gaze towards the young cricketer, displaying his sportsmanship.
