Rajasthan Royals’ number three Nitish Rana’s celebration went viral after he rocketed himself to a half-century in the IPL 2025 game against the Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati on Sunday. In a video surfaced on social media, the left-handed batter swung his hands with the bat, signalling the arrival of two of their kids.
On March 6, Rana had taken to his official Instagram account and wrote a caption, “From stadiums to site visits, now onto our biggest project yet—two tiny teammates coming soon!”. The former Kolkata Knight Riders batter had taken the Super Kings’ bowlers to the cleaners and kept the Royals’ scoreboard ticking despite losing Yashasvi Jaiswal cheaply in the very first over. After cracking a 21-ball fifty with a boundary, the southpaw let out the below celebration:
The 31-year-old was eventually outfoxed by Ravichandran Ashwin as MS Dhoni had him stumped with a wide delivery, sending him packing for 81 off 36 deliveries.
