Watch: Harshit Rana Gives Fiery Send-Off After Smashing Bail, Slapped With Fine
Last Updated: 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. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

India pacer Harshit Rana's aggressive gestures have landed him in trouble again as he received a fine for a provocative send-off after shattering the batter's bail during the Delhi Premier Lrague 2025 (DPL) match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Monday. The incident took place in Match 19 of the tournament during West Delhi's chase of 166 runs.
