Nitish Rana breaks down after scoring fifty in DPL, pays tribute to late mother

Nitish Rana breaks down after scoring fifty in DPL, pays tribute to late mother

West Delhi Lions' wicketkeeper-batter Nitish Rana was overcome with emotion after scoring a half-century in the Delhi Premier League match on Monday. The 32-year-old Indian batter had lost his mother recently, which seemed to weigh heavily on him as he broke down and pointed towards the sky following his 60-run innings. Rana, who wore his mother's name, N. Satish, on the back of his jersey, top-scored for his side with four fours and six maximums in his 33-ball 60.

Despite his valiant effort, WDL was bowled out for 169 by South Delhi Superstarz at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The opposition players and the umpire came to console the emotional Rana, who has represented India in one ODI and two T20Is in 2021.
