MI Vs KKR: Nitish Rana And Hrithik Shokeen Have Ugly Spat, As Old Rivalry Spills Into IPL-WATCH

The rivalry between two players in the Indian domestic circuit came to the fore at the IPL stage on Sunday, with Kolkata Knight Riders’ captain Nitish Rana and Mumbai Indians’ Hrithik Shokeen engaging in a war of words in the first innings.

The incident happened in the ninth over of their match at the Wankhede Stadium when the Mumbai Indians’ bowler gave an earful to Rana after dismissing the KKR captain, who stopped in his tracks to turn around and hurl some words back at the bowler.

Shokeen had Rana caught at long on by substitute fielder Ramandeep Singh, and immediately looked in the direction of the batter to say a few words. But as Rana turned back to respond to the young player’s charge at him, Mumbai Indians’ stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav and the senior most player in the game, Piyush Chawla, stepped in to diffuse the tension.
