Nitish Rana had a fight with Hrithik Shokeen (Image Credit: Twitter/IPL)
In the ongoing game between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians, Nitish Rana and Hrithik Shokeen had a heated confrontation. The incident happened in the ninth over of the KKR innings, who were batting first. Rana tried to smash Shokeen over long-on but couldn't get the timing right. As a result, he was caught at the boundary by substitute Ramandeep Singh.
After this, the right-arm spinner was seen giving a send-off to his Delhi teammate in domestic cricket. In reply, Rana looked like sending down some unmentionable words to his junior player. Media reports suggest that both have a history together as they don't talk to each other in the Delhi dressing room while the domestic season is on.
Not surprised to see this between Nitish Rana and Hrithik Shokeen. They have a history. Don’t talk in the dressing room. It all started in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Both weren’t talking while batting in Ranji too. Rana is a senior player and Shokeen needs to ZIP UP!

Nitish Rana-led Kolkata Knight Riders reached a competitive total
Meanwhile, talking about the game, the Nitish Rana-led side lost the toss and was asked to bat first. However, he said at the toss that he would have batted first citing the possible slowness of the wicket as the game progresses. Meanwhile, the team had a poor start as they lost three wickets in 73 runs with Venkatesh Iyer going well at the other end.
His maiden century helped the team reach 185/6. In reply, the home team, MI has started strongly with Ishan Kishan going berserk at 43 off 16 balls and counting. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma, who is playing as an impact sub, is batting on 20 off 13 balls and counting. It will be interesting to see whether KKR can make a comeback with the ball.
