“I cannot tell how happy I am,” Harshit, who picked up two wickets in the final, said after the triumph.
What prompted this celebration
The 22-year-old was fined and suspended for one match after his animated celebration towards Delhi Capitals batter Abhishek Porel.
Rana was penalised twice in this year’s IPL. At the start of the tournament, while playing against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rana gave Mayank Agarwal a sharp stare after dismissing him, before giving him a send-off with a flying kiss. He was later fined 60% of his match fee.
Rana picked up 19 wickets in 13 games, the most an uncapped Indian player and only Jasprit Bumrah (20), Varun Chakravarthy (21) and Harshal (24) have more wickets than him this IPL.
