Both of them were involved in a verbal duel after MI bowler Shokeen dismissed Rana during the IPL clash at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The incident happened in the ninth over of their match when Shokeen had a go at Rana after dismissing the KKR captain, who was on his way back to the dugout but stopped and turned around to angrily give some words back at the bowler.
Shokeen had Rana caught at long on by substitute fielder Ramandeep Singh, and immediately looked in the direction of the batter to say a few words. But as Rana turned back to respond to the young player’s charge at him, Mumbai Indians’ stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav and the senior most player in the game, Piyush Chawla, stepped in to diffuse the tension.
