WATCH: 'Not flying kiss', Harshit Rana 'silences' IPL officials with new celebration after ban
During the recent Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), KKR pacer Harshit Rana came up with a new celebration after he had to face consequences for his earlier 'flying kiss' celebration.
For the unversed, Harshit has made the headlines multiple times this season due to his "flying kiss" celebration. He had given a fiery send-off to SRH batter Mayank Agarwal earlier during the season and came close to doing the same to DC wicketkeeper-batter Abhishek Porel.
However, his action against Porel led to Rana being slapped with a 100% match fee fine and a one-match ban.
Thus, in the match tonight against LSG, Harshit Rana came up with a 'silent' celebration where he put his fingers on the lips after getting the prized wicket of LSG skipper KL Rahul. See the video below.
