Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) CEO Venky Mysore produced a witty reaction after Rajasthan Royals batter Nitish Rana after the latter was dismissed cheaply in their IPL 2025 encounter at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday.
Nitish Rana was a part of the KKR squad from 2018 to 2024 until he was released last year. In fact, in 2023, Nitish Rana led KKR after Shreyas Iyer was ruled out due to injury.
Having bought for ₹4.20 crore, Nitish Rana is yet to settle in at Rajasthan Royals. After making just 11 runs in their campaign opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the left-hander from Uttar Pradesh once again fell cheaply, with English spinner Moeen Ali uprooting his off-stump. He managed just eight runs from nine balls.
Soon after the wicket of Nitish Rana, the camera panned towards the stands with Venky Mysore clapping while also having a witty smile on his face as his former skipper walked back to the dugout n disappointment.
