This is the third time in this IPL season that Rana has been fined. Rana and Mumbai Indians all-rounder Ritik Shokeen were both fined part of their match fees after they admitted to breaching the IPL’s code of conduct during the match after a verbal spat in Mumbai earlier this season.
The incident happened in the ninth over of their match at the Wankhede Stadium when the Mumbai Indians bowler hurriedly dismissed Rana after dismissing the KKR skipper, who stopped in his tracks and threw a few words at the bowler. Shokeen had Rana caught at long-on by substitute fielder Ramandeep Singh and immediately looked in the batsman’s direction to say a few words. But as soon as Rana turned back to respond to the youngster’s allegation, Mumbai Indians’ stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav and the game’s senior-most player Piyush Chawla stepped in to defuse the tension.
