The sight of AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli on the crease together can send shivers down the spine of even the best bowlers in the world. So one can only sympathize with someone who is a part-timer and is being asked to contain two of the best batsmen in the world. Well, Nitish Rana faced the herculean task in the ongoing game between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
With de Villiers looking in a murderous mood, Dinesh Karthik handed the ball to Rana. De Villiers was already batting on 38 off just 22 balls with the help of 4 sixes.
Interestingly, the over started on the worst possible note for Rana. De Villiers pulled a short ball for a huge six over long-on.
However, Rana had the last laugh as de Villiers miscued a shot on the very next delivery. The best was yet to come and it did not take long.
On the very next delivery, Rana castled Virat Kohli. As expected, wild celebrations followed as Rana struggled to keep his emotions under control. Pumped up after the wicket, Rana punched the air in delight and probably swore while giving Kohli a send-off.
Here is a snippet showing the incident involving Nitish Rana:
