New Delhi. Harshit Rana has provided some relief to Team India, which is reeling from the historic defeat against New Zealand. Delhi pacer Harshit Rana initially took five wickets in the Ranji Trophy and then also scored a fifty. Harshit Rana is part of the Indian team selected for the Australia tour. In such a situation, his performance in the Ranji Trophy will definitely come as a relief to the Indian team management who are looking for a pace all-rounder. With this performance, Harshit has secured his claim to be part of the Border Gavaskar Trophy playing eleven. The first Test match between India and Australia will be played from November 22.

Harshit Rana plays for Delhi in the Ranji Trophy. He bowled brilliantly against Assam and took five wickets. Thanks to his performance, Delhi restricted Assam to 330 runs. After that came Delhi’s batting power. At one time Delhi had lost 6 wickets for 182 runs and were under pressure to fall behind in the first innings. At this point, Harshit Rana took charge and scored a fifty for his team.

How many Indians have an average higher than Sachin? The top five names will surprise you, Kohli is not even in the top 10 and Rohit is in the top 20.

Harshit Rana, who came to bat at number eight, scored 59 runs in 78 balls. In this innings he hit four fours and three sixes. He formed a 99-run partnership with number seven batsman Sumit Mathur, taking his team’s total from 182 to 281 runs. In this regard, Harshit became the victim of Mukhtar Hussain of Assam. After Harshit’s dismissal, Sumit Mathur and Siddhant took Delhi to more than 330 runs.

Harshit Rana is among the two fast bowlers selected for the Australia tour and Team India is expecting him to bat as well. Nitish Reddy is another such player. Nitish was 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 required.
