Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper, Nitish Rana came out all guns blazing against the Fiery Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer, Umran Malik. In the match played between KKR and SRH at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Rana smashed as many as 28 runs with the help of 4 fours and a couple of sixes in one over of Umran. The incident took place in the 6th over of the KKR’s chase.

Earlier in the game, KKR won the toss and asked the visitors to bat first. At the end of the 20 overs, SRH made their way to 228/4, and a lot of credit for the same goes to Harry Brook, who scored his maiden IPL century. During the chase, the hosts lost three wickets in the first 5 overs and Umran Malik came out to bowl the sixth over.

On the very first ball of Umran, Nitish Rana started with a four toward the fine leg. After this, he hit a six on the second ball toward deep midwicket. Nitish spoiled Umran’s rhythm by hitting three fours in the next three balls. After this, he ended the over by hitting a six, over deep backward. Umran was outdone by his pace and conceded 28 runs in this over.

The special thing is that it was the same bat, with which Rinku Singh hit 5 sixes to win the match against KKR. Actually, Rinku played the last over by borrowing the bat from Nitish. In the ongoing march, the bat went well for Nitish Rana himself.
