IPL 2018: How Dinesh Karthik's team may lineup in the tournament

#6 Nitish Rana

Nitish Rana played an important role for Mumbai Indians last season

The last season saw the emergence of this silent finisher for the Mumbai Indians. KKR picked up the Delhi batsman this year and will rely on his batting abilities at the end. He was consistent with the bat last season with 333 runs under his name. He has continued to impress in the Ranji trophy this year and eventually became the highest run scorer for the side.

The 24-year-old left-handed batsman batted with a good strike rate of around 136 and was highly appreciated for his calm demeanor while taking his side towards the finish line. The KKR management would be expecting him to play steady innings and take the team home at difficult times.
