Watch: Rana Fumes At Umpires After KKR Get Punishment For Slow Over Rate
Nitish Rana was left fuming at the umpires at one stage during Kolkata Knight Riders' IPL 2023 match against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. The incident took place ahead of the last over of CSK's innings. Vaibhav Arora was about to bowl the last over with set batters Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja in the crease. However, due to their slow over rate, KKR received punishment. Under new rules, they became bound to keep a maximum of four fielders outside the circle instead of five. Visuals showed that Rana lashed out at the umpires and got involved in a heated argument with them.
