Rana and the SRK celebration
In the early stage of IPL 2024, Harshit Rana was suspended for a game because of his ‘flying kiss’ celebration. However, the pacer and KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan had the last laugh as the team lifted their 3rd trophy. Rana revealed the reason behind SRK’s gesture and it’s association with Rana’s infamous celebration.
“Oh Yes! After I got banned for one match, I was very sad and then Shah Rukh sir came to me and said ‘Tu tension mat le ye waali celebration Trophy ke saath karenge (We will celebrate the IPL with a flying kiss). He promised me and made sure that we did that with the trophy and our team,” Rana added.
