The Kolkata Knight Riders' all-rounder Nitish Rana played brilliantly to score 81 runs in the IPL 2020 match against the Delhi Capitals. The left-handed opener smacked 13 fours and a six in his 53-ball knock, but his unique celebration on reaching his half-century caught the fans' attention.
After completing his second half-century of IPL 2020, Nitish Rana paid tribute to his late father-in-law Surinder Marwal, who lost his life to cancer on Friday. The southpaw brought out a customized Kolkata Knight Riders jersey with the name Surinder printed at the back to show respect to his wife's father.

In response, skipper Eoin Morgan changed his opening combination and promoted Nitish Rana to open the innings with Shubman Gill. The left-handed batsman did not disappoint his captain as he scored just three runs short of what the entire team had aggregated against RCB.
All-rounder Sunil Narine backed Nitish Rana to perfection as they added 115 runs for the fourth wicket. Narine scored a 32-ball 64 as KKR finished with 194/6 after Shreyas Iyer invited them to bat first in Match 42 of IPL 2020.
In reply, the Capitals could only score 135/9 in 20 overs. Varun Chakravarthy proved to be the wrecker-in-chief during the second innings as he recorded the first five-wicket haul by a bowler in IPL 2020. Varun's figures of 5/20 helped KKR win the game by 59 runs.
