It was the first ball of ninth over and Rana went for a big shot but failed to get the desired elevation and was caught by Ramandeep Singh. Rana was taking the long walk back towards the pavilion and said something to which Shokeen gave him a send-off and the KKR got irked with it which started the heated altercation.
Mumbai Indians stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav and senior spinner Piyush Chawla came in between and tried to calm Rana down who was dismissed for 5.
