KKR's Harshit Rana Takes Hilarious Dig at BCCI After Victory

Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) fast bowler Harshit Rana has taken a humorous jab at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) following his team's victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.

Rana, who was previously fined and suspended for his on-field celebrations, teased his infamous 'flying kiss' celebration but refrained from completing it. This gesture was a subtle dig at the BCCI's strict Code of Conduct, which had penalized him for similar actions in the past.

"Don't talk to the BCCI," Rana quipped in a video that has gone viral on social media.

The incident occurred after KKR's charter flight from Lucknow to Kolkata was diverted to Guwahati due to inclement weather. In the video, Rana is seen discussing the team's remaining fixtures with head coach Chandrakant Pandit.

Rana jokingly suggested that since they were already in Guwahati, they should play their next match against Rajasthan Royals there and complete that fixture. Pandit was amused by the suggestion and playfully replied that he would consider it.

"Please don't talk to the BCCI," Rana responded, eliciting laughter from Pandit.

Despite his playful banter with the BCCI, Rana played a crucial role in KKR's victory over LSG, taking three wickets. He emphasized the team's focus on making it to the playoffs and highlighted the importance of hitting the hard lengths.

Rana's performance and his humorous dig at the BCCI have garnered attention on social media, with fans appreciating his lighthearted approach to the game.
