Delhi Capitals batsman Nitish Rana has been under the scanner due to his consistent performance in IPL 2026. This season, the first three matches were very bad for the left-handed batsman playing for Delhi Capitals and he could only score a total of 20 runs. But the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad became a journey from heaven to heaven for him. In this match, when he was given the responsibility of bowling, he got badly beaten but then Nitish compensated a bit by responding with his bat.
Nitish badly beaten in bowling
In the match played on April 21 in Hyderabad, host Sunrisers batted first. Surprising everyone in this match, Delhi captain Akshar Patel put Nitish, who bowls part time off break, to bowl in the second over itself. He gave only 6 runs in this over, due to which the captain made him bowl again in the fifth over. But in this over Abhishek Sharma And Travis Head hit 3 sixes on him.
Hardly anyone would have thought that he would get bowling again after this over but once again it happened and in his third over he again gave 6 runs. Once again this over forced Delhi captain Akshar Patel into a mistake and he also made Nitish do the fourth over. In this over, Abhishek looted 23 runs by beating Nitish fiercely. In this way, Nitish Rana gave away 55 runs in his 4 overs.
a little compensation with the bat
Now that so many runs had been given away, the pressure was on Nitish to score some runs with the bat himself. Nitish, who came to bat after the first wicket fell in the third over itself, responded to this very well. This Delhi batsman, who had scored only 20 runs in 3 consecutive matches, this time snatched 18 runs from just one over. In this over of spinner Shivang Kumar, he hit 2 sixes and 1 four in 3 consecutive balls.
The result of this attack was that Nitish completed his half-century in 27 balls, which was his first since last season. Even after this, he was trying to score runs but was not successful and was out after scoring 57 runs in 30 balls. He hit 7 fours and 3 sixes.
