Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has spared no effort in the current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season to secure their position at the top of the points table. Their recent victory against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 54th match of the lucrative league has firmly secured their place in the playoffs.
Meanwhile, KKR won’t play any game until Saturday, allowing the team to take advantage of these off-days to recharge and recuperate from the hectic IPL schedule. In their latest off-field team bonding activity, KKR engaged in tennis ball cricket on the practice ground. Nitish Rana‘s wife, Saachi Marwah, decided to join the fun and play the game with the KKR team. She eagerly took up the challenge of facing Nitish’s bowling, adding an extra layer of excitement to the team’s off-field bonding session.
Saachi Marwah hits a pull shot off her husband Nitish Rana
In the video posted by KKR, Nitish was seen bowling to his wife, Saachi, creating a light-hearted moment. Saachi surprised everyone by playing a brilliant shot off Nitish’s first ball, prompting the KKR batter to position Harshit Rana for a possible catch. Unfazed by the pressure, Saachi confidently followed up with another impressive stroke, this time executing a pull shot against her husband. Watching her elegant strokes, the 30-year-old cricketer couldn’t help but marvel at her skill, admitting that Saachi’s shots were superior to his own.
“Mere se accha pull hai, (Her pull shot is better than mine),” Nitish said in the video captioned ‘The Pati-Patni face-off’.

KKR inch closure to the playoffs
With nearly guaranteed qualification for the playoffs, the table-toppers need just one more win to secure their place in the top 4. KKR will next clash with the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) at Eden Gardens in the 60th match of IPL 2024. Under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, KKR exudes confidence and is determined to outshine MI on their home ground. However, this encounter serves as a dead rubber for Mumbai, as they have already been ousted from the tournament.
