Nitish Rana looks in brilliant form as he continues to guide Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to post a challenging total against Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2020 clash on Saturday. Rana brought up his 10th IPL half-century at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi and dedicated the milestone to his late father-in-law.
Rana was sent out to open by the KKR franchise who have tried different batting formations throughout the IPL 2020 but have failed to find stability. His opening partner Shubman Gill, who took guard to face the first ball of the match, was sent packing by in-form fast bowler Anrich Nortje for nine runs off eight deliveries.
