Less than a month ago, Kolkata Knight Riders [KKR] opening batsman Nitish Rana tested positive for COVID-19. However, bouncing back to the cricket field for practice after having 12 days of quarantine and after two negative test results on April 3, Rana, 27, on Sunday emerged a match-winner with a quickfire 80 (9x4, 4x6) in KKR’s 10-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in Chennai.

KKR captain Eoin Morgan was overwhelmed by the way Rana showcased his attacking and positive approach during his 56-ball stay at the wicket.
