A five-match Test series will be played between India and Australia. Team India will tour Australia in November for this series. The BCCI on Friday announced the Indian team for this Test series starting November 22. There are some players in this team who have been included in the Test team for the first time. Among those players, there is a player who plays for KKR in IPL. Apart from this, when this player’s name was seen on the squad everyone was surprised. There was no general discussion about the name of this player. This player is none other than Harshit Rana.
Difficult to get a place in play 11
Harshit Rana had performed surprisingly well playing for KKR during the IPL, but no one had thought that he would be included in the Test squad so soon. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to go directly to the Australian tour. Team India has probably included him in the squad to tour Australia to strengthen their pace attack. Harshit can bowl consistently at a pace of 145+. However, it is very difficult for them to include him in the playing eleven. The team already includes lethal bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep Singh and Prasidh Krishna.
How was your career in domestic cricket?
Harshit Rana has played very few domestic cricket matches. He plays for the Delhi and Northern Zone teams in domestic cricket. He has played only 9 first-class games. Where he has taken 36 wickets. During this period his best bowling figure has been 7/45. Apart from this, he has also made some contributions to his team with the bat. Where he has scored 410 runs. His highest score has been 122 runs.
