Will this player be the new weapon?
During the ongoing practice session between Team India and India A in Perth, Jasprit Bumrah started bowling from one end. Harshit Rana supported him from the other end. During this, a barrage of short balls and bouncers was seen from Harshit Rana. Looking at his spell, it is being speculated that Team India can use him as a new weapon against Australia.
On the bouncy and fast pitch of Perth, he can be used with short-ball strategy to trouble the Australian batsmen. He bowled a lot of bouncers in his spell. Although he hit one six, his overall performance was impressive. Rana dismissed two batsmen.
