Kolkata Knight Riders’ fast bowler Harshit Rana has often made the headlines for his weird gestures in IPL 2024. At first, he drew flak for his flying kiss send-off gesture towards Mayank Agarwal and for which, he was fined 60% of his match fees for breaching the code of conduct.
Harshit Rana breached the IPL’s code of conduct once again during KKR’s game against Delhi Capitals. As a result, he was not only slapped with 100% of his match fee but was also suspended in the match against Mumbai Indians.
The IPL officials didn’t give the reason for heavy fine and suspension on the KKR paceman. The only reason why Rana was slapped with a fine and suspension is due to the fact that he told Abhishek Porel to walk back to the dressing room with a hand gesture.
