Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) grew to become the primary crew to qualify for the playoffs within the 2024 version of the IPL and to seal the highest two spot, after 10 years. Their penultimate league stage match in opposition to the Gujarat Titans was washed out due to incessant rain in Ahmedabad on Monday, May 13 and therefore confirmed a high two spot and can now play their remaining league stage match in opposition to the Rajasthan Royals, who themselves are competing for the remaining spot within the high two on the factors desk.
Ahead of the Monday conflict, Nitish Rana was invited for a pre-match interview. Rana missed 10 matches for KKR due to a finger harm earlier than returning to the facet of their earlier conflict in opposition to the Mumbai Indians. Asked to show his harm by Harsha Bhogle and the way he was feeling, Rana got here up with a hilarious response.
“Sir theek hai, but jo finger hai voh main dikha nahi sakta kyunki voh middle finger hai but haan pehle se abhi bahut better hai. Happy to be back in the team. Accha lag raha hai sir kyunki 10 match ke baad vaapas aaya hun. Mere liye tough tha because touchwood kabhi injury nahi hui aur kabhi itna baahar nahi baitha IPL mein (It’s alright but since the finger is the middle one, I can’t show it to you. But yeah, much better than before. Happy to be back in the team and feeling good to return after missing so many games because I have never experienced this because never got injured touchwood.)”

Rana mentioned that he was joyful that KKR administration confirmed religion in him and introduced him again regardless of lacking so many video games suggesting that he nonetheless provides a lot worth to the facet regardless of Angkrish Raghvanshi doing effectively at No 3 spot. “I think that [missing games] was the most frustrating part because you know that you can perform out there. From outside it feels like cricket is very easy, you feel like you can do everything but the game is played between those 22 yards only. So yeah it was tough because it hasn’t happened with me that I’ll have to sit on the bench and watch the game but I’m thankful to KKR management for showing faith in me that I can make a difference even after missing 10 games,” Rana added.
The final time KKR completed within the high two, they went on to win the title on each events in 2012 and 2014.
