A talented left-handed batsman, Rana plays for Delhi in domestic cricket and for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Having made his List-A debut in 2012, Rana had to wait for another 3 years to make his first class debut for Delhi, and he had a staggering debut season, amassing 557 runs at an average of 50.63 and finished as Delhi’s highest-run getter in the tournament.
Rana had a great 2015 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he scored 299 runs in 8 innings and struck 21 sixes in the tournament. Rana rose to prominence in the same tournament, when he scored a majestic 97 off just 40 deliveries against Andhra Pradesh which included 8 huge hits over the fence.

In 4 matches that he played, Rana scored 104 runs with the highest score of 75. MI management trusted him a lot more in the next season and he could make it big for himself and his team. He scored 333 runs from 13 innings.
Kolkata Knight Riders came calling after he was released ahead of the IPL 2018 season and he instantly became an integral part of the KKR batting setup.
