Harshit Rana Batting: Take the name of Harshit Rana, most of the Indian cricket fans will be seen criticizing him. This player gets more abuses than claps everywhere on social media, but in Adelaide, Harshit Rana did something due to which people are acknowledging his talent. On the Adelaide pitch where batsmen like Gill and Virat failed, Harshit Rana won the hearts of the fans with his intelligent batting. Harshit Rana, coming at number 9, scored unbeaten 24 runs in 18 balls, on the basis of which Team India reached the score of 264, whereas at one time it seemed that Team India would not be able to score even 250.
Harshit Rana beats Jampa
The interesting thing is that Harshit Rana also defeated the bowler who was performing best in Adelaide. Harshit took on leg spinner Adam Zampa. This bowler had taken 4 wickets in the match but in his last over, Harshit Rana spoiled all his figures. Rana hit three sharp fours in his last over and he gave away 16 runs in it, as a result, Jampa missed out on making a big record.
Harshit Rana scored 24 unbeaten runs off 18 balls. Its not a massive contribution but it clearly shows that he can bat. All those who troll him 24×7 will not say a word about his good cameo. These runs can be a deciding factor sometimes. #INDvsAUS pic.twitter.com/eS6dTxiygJ

Actually, Adam Zampa had a chance to perform best in ODI against India at home but it could not happen. Jampa had taken 4 wickets for 44 runs in 9 overs and if he had given less than 54 runs, it would have been his best performance against India, but Harshit Rana scored 16 runs in this over, spoiling his figures. Harshit Rana proved one thing that he has the talent of batting, perhaps that is why Gautam Gambhir takes a gamble on him.
Good batting by Rohit-Shreyas Iyer
