Harshit Rana flying kiss celebration: Kolkata Knight Riders won the title of IPL 2024, in which many players played an important role and one name in this was uncapped Indian fast bowler Harshit Rana. Rana bowled brilliantly throughout the tournament and also impressed a lot. However, he was also in the news for his special 'flying kiss' celebration, due to which he also had to face a ban of one match. At the same time, when the KKR team became the champion, the team owner Shahrukh Khan and all the other players repeated this celebration, whose pictures and videos went viral. Regarding this, Harshit told that this thing was already decided and Shahrukh had promised him.

In the recently concluded 17th season of IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders played their first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on 23rd March and after dismissing Mayank Agarwal, Harshit Rana gave him a flying kiss send-off. BCCI did not like this style of Harshit and they fined him 60 percent of his match fee. On April 3, Harshit was also punished for signaling Abhishek Porel to go to the pavilion against Delhi Capitals and 100 percent of his match fee was deducted, along with that he was also banned from one match.
