Nitish Rana, one of India’s consistent left-handed batters in the IPL, is now part of Rajasthan Royals (RR) after being picked up for INR 4.2 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Previously a key middle-order player for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), he now finds himself on the opposite side, bringing valuable experience and flexibility to the RR batting lineup. His ability to accelerate in the middle overs and contribute with part-time off-spin makes him a solid asset for RR in IPL 2025.
