Watch: Harshit Rana Gives Fiery Send-Off After Smashing Bail, Slapped With Fine
Indian pacer Harshit Rana was fined 10 percent of his match fees for a send-off after his delivery broke a bail in the DPL.
Fines for send-offs have followed Indian pacer Harshit Rana from the Indian Premier League to the Delhi Premier League.
Captaining the North Delhi Strikers in defending 166, he clean bowled West Delhi Lions' Ayush Doseja on the last ball of the third over. It was a quick ball on the leg stump at a hard length, and Doseja looked out of sorts, trying to make room and hit it down the ground without having his eyes on the rock.
What happened next was a fast bowler's dream: the ball went over the wicketkeeper and bounced off to the boundary ropes while the cameras showed that a bail was not only dislodged but broken in half. In excitement and with his typical Delhi fervor, Harshit pointed at Doseja and gestured to him to get back to the dugout repeatedly. Watch it here:
The cinematics have been overshadowed by DPL's reprimand of Harshit for the gesture. The league has fined him 10 percent of his match fees, with the pacer accepting the first-level offence.
'Harshit Rana has been fined 10% of the match fees for breaching the Adani Delhi Premier League T20 Code of Conduct. Rana admitted to the Level 1 Offence under Article 2.5 (Using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from another player in the Match) and accepted the Match Referee's sanction," the DPL's official statement read.
He was similarly fined twice in the 2024 IPL season with Kolkata Knight Riders, and the offences stacked up to a one-match ban for an away game at the Mumbai Indians. Harshit has maintained that it's part of his character and the aggression keeps him going in difficult matches.
In this game, it was Harshit's only wicket, but the Strikers managed to win by 11 runs. They are now placed third in the points table with three wins from four games, while the Lions are fourth with two wins.

FC Goa defeat Oman's Al Seeb to seal AFC Champions League Two Group stage berth
Margao, Aug 13 (UNI) FC Goa sealed their spot in the AFC Champions League Two 2025-26 Group Stage after staving off a late fightback from Al Seeb Club of Oman to walk away with a 2-1 win in their Preliminary Stage tie at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here today. Dejan Drazic and Javier Siverio scored for FC Goa, and the Gaurs will now wait to discover their Group Stage opponents on Friday. Al Seeb started aggressively, testing FC Goa as early as the second minute with Nasser Al Rawahi forcing defender Pol Moreno into an acrobatic clearance, while Zahir Al Aghbari's follow-up from inside the box was blocked. The home side took time to settle and could have broken the deadlock in the ninth minute when Drazic broke free on the left, but with only the keeper to beat, the midfielder's soft shot was easily collected by Ahmed Al Rawahi. Al Rawahi was in the thick of things again for Al Seeb in the 23rd minute when his timely tackle opened up space to set up Abdul Aziz Al Muqbali, whose curling effort was parried away by FC Goa keeper Hrithik Tiwari. However, FC Goa showed their quality a minute later when Borja Herrera's instinctive long pass found Dražić on the left, with the midfielder evading Al Rawahi's challenge before delicately chipping the ball over Ahmed Al Khamisi and into the back of the net. The Indian Super League side stayed on top of things in the second half with Drazic out muscling the Al Seeb defenders to surge into the box before forcing Al Rawahi to palm away his stinging shot in the 52nd minute. The momentum saw FC Goa extend their lead moments later when Herrera's cross off a corner floated into the box perfectly for Siverio to rise above Al Rawahi for a headed finish. Al Seeb, the 2022 AFC Cup winners, reduced the deficit at the hour mark through Nasser Al Rawahi's strike from close range off Ali Al Busaidi's cutback, but that was to be it as FC Goa became the second Indian side to book their spot in this season's Group Stage after 2024-25 ISL Shield Winners Mohun Bagan Super Giant. The Gaurs and the Mariners will discover their Group Stage opponents after the draw on August 15. UNI BM
