In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-24, in the knockout match between Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Chennai, Delhi's Nitish Rana was seen engaging in a heated argument with the UP batter Ayush Badoni while the later was batting. In a viral video, it was seen that as Badoni completed a run and came to the non-striker's end, Rana, who was already there after his bowling, howled on Badoni, and both had a word exchange. The situation escalated in such an unpleasant way that the on-field umpire had to intervene.

It was in the Wankhade Stadium when the Delhi-based Shokeen dismissed Rana cheaply. While Rana was walking out, Shokeen seemed to have some words, which triggered Rana as he came back and had a heated exchange. Presently, Rajasthan Royals has brought Nitish Rana for INR 4 crores. Shockingly, KKR did not even bid for him. However, Badoni has been retained by Lucknow Supergiants.
