Watch: Harshit Rana looks in agonizing pain after hurting his elbow during KKR vs PBKS match

Harshit Rana had to endure agonizing pain after hurting his elbow while fielding during the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings at the Eden Gardens on Friday (April 26).

The incident took place in the 14th over when his teammate Varun Chakravarthy was bowling to Prabhsimran Singh. On the first ball of the over, Chakravarthy bowled one just outside the off stump, and Prabhsimran pulled the ball towards the right of Harshit Rana, who was standing at long-on.

The KKR pacer had the chance to take off a spectacular catch and he did not shy away from putting in a dive. The ball was falling on him, and even though Harshit Rana came up with a good effort, he could not hold on to the ball.

And in doing so, he ended up hurting himself. While diving for the catch, he fell right on the practice pitch and ended up scraping his elbow. He looked in pain straightaway as he started rolling on the field before Rinku Singh checked on him. Fortunately for KKR, Harshit Rana eventually stood up.
