Arjun nelluru: Feeling sad for Angkrish who's been lef out but you can't keep away fully fit Rana too who's been KKR's loyal servant for few years now. Such is the nature of this World's toughest t20 league, even the best of players have to warm the benches at times. He will definitely get his chances in future..
