In a thrilling encounter between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the iconic Eden Gardens, Harshit Rana showcased not only his bowling prowess but also his restraint from a signature celebration. 

The moment arrived in the 6.4th over when Rana, bowling with precision, outfoxed Abhishek Porel with a full-length delivery that rattled the stumps, leaving DC in a precarious position.

Known for his exuberant 'flying kiss' celebration, Rana opted to refrain from his usual antics. This decision stemmed from a looming fear of fines imposed by cricket authorities for over-the-top celebrations. 

Despite the adrenaline rush of dismissing a crucial opposition batsman, Rana chose a more subdued approach, perhaps recognizing the importance of maintaining discipline and respect on the field.

Porel's attempt to innovate with a ramp shot ended in failure, triggering Rana's elation, evident in his pumped-up demeanor. However, instead of indulging in his trademark celebration, Rana opted for a simple send-off to the Bengal batter, acknowledging the significance of the wicket in the context of the match.

At the time of writing, DC is at 93/4.
