Nitish Rana is one of the highly rated batters in the domestic circuit and has been a key performer for different teams in the IPL as well. However, the Delhi lad has more to him than just cricketing skills.

The left-handed batter is known for his stylish looks and is seen flaunting them through his hairstyles and clothes. Now, Hindustan Times has recognised the stylish side of his personality. He has been named as the Most Stylish Sportsperson at the 2025 edition of HT City Delhi's Most Stylish. It was the 16th edition of the awards show, and it has been recognising Delhi's style icons across industries.

Nitish Rana Chooses Jaideep Ahlawat Over Other Bollywood Superstars

After receiving the award, Nitish Rana was asked which actor he would choose to play himself if a biopic is made on his life. The cricketer did not take the name of any mainstream actor and instead decided to choose Jaideep Ahlawat, an actor who is known for his supreme acting skills.

Rana then gave the reason for choosing Ahlawat, too. He mentioned that Jaideep Ahlawat is also a Jaat just like him, and so if the biopic demands an actor to talk Haryanvi, it would be easy for the Gangs Of Wasseypur and Paatal Lok actor.

Nitish Rana Compares His Style With Shah Rukh Khan

Nitish Rana also opened up on how he likes to carry himself and stated the difference between his and Shah Rukh Khan's style. Rana mentioned that he likes street style, while SRK, according to Rana, loves wearing elegant clothes. 

Interestingly, Nitish Rana revealed that he has copied his ponytail from Shah Rukh Khan. The cricketer was part of the KKR setup for a long time and even captained them in the 2023 season. Thus, the cricketer enjoys a close bond with the Bollywood Superstar and KKR, but the franchise did not buy him back for the 2025 season, and he is currently part of the RR setup in IPL.
