New Delhi. India has picked three such players for the 5-Test series against Australia, who have not played a single Test match till date. This means he has a chance to start his Test career in Australia. One of these three players is Harshit Rana, who celebrated his team selection with a good performance in the Ranji Trophy. Harshit Rana said after the team selection that it was like a dream come true. Such a dream that he and his father also saw.

These days, Harshit Rana is playing the Ranji Trophy game for Delhi. He took 5 wickets and also took 5 wickets against Assam. Harshit Rana plays for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. There is a real possibility that KKR will retain him for IPL 2025 as well.

When asked about the team selection, Harshit Rana said, “I came to know about it only when the team was selected and I got a call.” However, it was somewhat predictable. Harshit tells Cricinfo that this selection was like a dream come true. He said: “My father’s dream is for me to play against England at Lord’s.” But I like Australia better. I am proud that my name appeared in the team.

Harshit Rana took three wickets with the new ball and two wickets with the old ball against Assam. He has also told the team management that he is capable of taking wickets with both new and old balls. Harshit said that when he was with Team India, he asked Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj how long he should bowl if he was picked for the Australia tour.
