Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) received a much-needed boost on Tuesday, April 9, with the return of Nitish Rana to the team camp. Rana, who captained KKR in the absence of Shreyas Iyer last season, missed a significant portion of IPL 2024 thus far due to a fractured finger.
According to reports from ‘Khel Now’, Rana rejoined the KKR camp on Tuesday. This news comes as a welcome relief for the two-time IPL champions, who will now boasts an even stronger middle-order. The likes of Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh and Venkatesh Iyer have all been firing this season. Even youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi has fared decently in the chances he has got.
Rana played KKR’s opening game at the Eden Garden against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. He, however, failed in that particular game, scoring nine runs off 11 balls. With an experience of playing over 180 T20s in his career, Rana’s return provides much-needed depth to the KKR batting order.
