New Delhi. Harshit Rana has given some relief to Team India, troubled by the historic defeat from New Zealand. Delhi pacer Harshit Rana first took 5 wickets in Ranji Trophy and then also scored a fifty. Harshit Rana is included in the Indian team selected for the Australia tour. In such a situation, his Ranji Trophy performance will definitely give some relief to the Indian team management, which is looking for a pace all-rounder. With this performance, Harshit has staked his claim for the playing eleven of Border Gavaskar Trophy. The first test match between India and Australia will be played from 22 November.
Harshit Rana plays for Delhi in Ranji Trophy. He bowled brilliantly against Assam and took 5 wickets. Thanks to his performance, Delhi restricted Assam to 330 runs. After this came Delhi’s batting. At one time Delhi had lost 6 wickets for 182 runs and was under pressure of falling behind in the first innings. At such a time, Harshit Rana took charge and scored a fifty for his team.
How many Indians have a higher average than Sachin, the first 5 names will surprise you, Kohli is not even in the top-10 and Rohit in the top-20.
Harshit Rana, who came to bat at number eight, scored 59 runs in 78 balls. He hit 4 fours and 3 sixes in this innings. He made a partnership of 99 runs with number seven batsman Sumit Mathur and took his team from 182 to 281 runs. On this score, Harshit became the victim of Mukhtar Hussain of Assam. After Harshit’s dismissal, Sumit Mathur and Siddhant took Delhi beyond 330 runs.
Harshit Rana is among the two fast bowlers selected for the Australia tour, from whom Team India is expecting in batting also. Nitish Reddy is another such player. Nitish has been selected as a pace all-rounder. Harshit Rana’s position in the team is quite similar to that of Shardul Thakur, who is a pure fast bowler but can also bat when needed.
