Nitish Rana will play for Delhi Capitals in IPL (X\/DC)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Delhi Capitals welcomed Nitish Rana, whom they traded from Rajasthan Royals for Donovan Ferreira ahead of the Indian Premier League 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201c10 years later\u2026 your boy is finally home, Dilli,” DC shared a video on X.<\/p>\n

WATCH:<\/h2>\n

\u201cLog <\/em>usually bolte hai ki Dilli wale\u2026 jab dekho ladayi jhagda hi karte rehte hai\u2026 Par ye koi nahi bolta ki sabse jyada pyaar bhi Dilli wale hi karte hai. Aur Dilli se jyada pyaar mujse koi nahi karta. <\/em>See you soon, Dilli<\/em> (People usually say Delhites are always fighting, but people from Delhi also love the most. I love Delhi more than anyone else. See you soon, Delhi),” Rana said in the video.<\/p>\n

Who Is Nitish Rana?<\/h2>\n

Rana began his professional career in 2013, making his List A debut for Delhi against Assam during the 2012-13 Vijay Hazare Trophy. He played age-group and domestic cricket for Delhi until 2022.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Rana made his first-class debut for Delhi against Vidarbha in the 2015-16 Ranji Trophy season. In his debut first-class season, he accumulated 557 runs, finishing as Delhi\u2019s top run scorer.<\/p>\n

What Has Nitish Rana Done In IPL?<\/h2>\n

Rana made his Indian Premier League debut in 2016 but had limited opportunities that season. He had a breakthrough year in IPL 2017, scoring 333 runs and playing a key role in Mumbai Indians\u2019 title-winning campaign.<\/p>\n

However, the Mumbai franchise released him before the 2018 Indian Premier League auction. The Kolkata franchise showed faith in him and signed him for the 2018 season.<\/p>\n

He was released before the 2022 mega auction but was re-signed for INR 8 crore, scoring 361 runs at a strike rate of 143.82.<\/p>\n

Retained by KKR, Rana was entrusted with the captaincy for the 2023 IPL season in Shreyas Iyer\u2019s absence. While Kolkata fell short of a playoff berth, Rana led from the front, handling the added responsibility well and finishing as the team\u2019s second-highest run-scorer for the season.<\/p>\n

With Iyer returning to lead the side in 2024, Rana\u2019s campaign was marred by a finger injury, which sidelined him for 10 consecutive matches. He managed only a couple of appearances in what turned out to be a title-winning season for Kolkata. Ahead of the 2025 auction, Kolkata decided to release him, and Rajasthan secured his services for Rs 4.20 crore.<\/p>\n
