Nitish Rana, who is currently playing the ongoing season of the Delhi Premier League (DPL 2025), lost his cool while playing & leading West Delhi Lions. The southpaw, who has played a couple of blistering cameos, failed to have much of an impact in the third match of the DPL 2025 season against Purani Dilli 6. While his contribution was not significant enough, he seemed pretty chirpy off the field and ended up having an animated chat with the umpire.
In a video that has been released by DPL's official X handle, Rana was seen arguing with the umpire. The southpaw was seen extremely disturbed, but the reason is unknown. In a video that is going viral on social media, the Delhi player was seen telling the umpire to address a situation. While the umpire was initially paying heed to the player, later he was seen having a go at the Lions captain.
However, Rana was not convinced by what the umpire said and looked upset. While the situation between the player and the umpire was not ugly, he was sent to his fielding position. However, the overall picture paints a picture of how Rana is passionate about leading the West Delhi Lions.
