Cricket is a game of surprises and thus IPL never stops from giving us surprises. Cricket is a gentleman’s game and there’s no doubt that sportsmanships win the heart. Virat Kohli is known for always appreciating great talents and skills. He also gifted Mohammed Aamir his bat long back during the world cup. He again won millions of hearts after gifting the 24 years old Nitish Rana batsman his own bat.

Nitish Rana surprised the crowd as he was brought in by his captain Karthik in the first match against RCB to bowl to Virat and Ab De Villiers. The both looked ravishing but Nitish bowled googlies and bowled them out in consecutive balls. A moment that the Delhi boy would remember lifelong. Virat Kohli was startled by the talent.

Rana like many other aspiring players looks up to the Indian captain and thus he was not depressed but well patted on the back by Virat as he gifted his bat to Rana. Rana took to Instagram to post the picture and thank Virat Kohli.

Nitish was elated to make that mark for his franchise. He said that he just wanted to be perfect with his bowl.

I had nothing to lose, but everything to gain. I saw the ball was gripping well, if I bowled in right areas I might get wickets. I backed myself and luckily I got the two big wickets. It was very important to get those batsmen out at that stage,” Rana told in his post match press conference.

Rana didn’t disappoint with his bat too as he joined in good partnership with his captain to score 30 plus score on the board. His innings included two fours and two sixes. Earlier a Mumbai player he was brought in by KKR at auction this season by 3.4 crores and he hasn’t ket down. Hope he keeps on the limelight and does better for KKR camp in future matches.
