NEW DELHI:Nitish Rana broke her silence on his altercation on the ground with Digvesh Rathi during the eliminator of Delhi Premier League 2025 (DPL) at the Arun Jaitley stadium. A video of The Priery Exchange has become viral, showing that Rana had an animated conversation with Rathi before making fun of the celebration of the wrist signature by imitating him on her bat after having broken him for six.In the Eliminator match, Nitish Rana produced an unbeaten 134 out of only 55 deliveries, guiding its side towards a successful prosecution of 202 with 17 remaining balls and seven seeks in hand.

“It is not a question of knowing who is right or bad. He came to win the match for his team, and I came to win for mine,” said Rana in a media interaction.“But to respect the cricket game is my responsibility, and it is also his. It was he who started. I will not say how or what happened, because it would be unfair.“But yes, if someone puts me or puts me in my face, I am not someone who will sit quietly. Because that’s how I have always played my cricket.“If someone pushes me and they think they will take me out by provoking me, then I can also retaliate with six. What happened yesterday was an example,” he added.

Rana stressed that he had not started fighting with Rathi, who was one of the discoveries of the IPL season earlier this year.“He who begins is in their hands to end it. I have been in many fights so far; It’s not like I’ve not done.“But until today, I have never initiated anything. Yes, if someone tells me something first, I always answer, and it is in my own way,” said Rana.“This is how I was raised. My parents taught me that if you are not wrong, then you should defend yourself, and that’s exactly what I do, and I will continue to do it in the future too,” he added.The Lions of Delhi West Delhi led by Nitish Rana will face the kings of the center of Delhi Sunday Sunday in the DPL 2025 final.
