The team of 18 members selected for the Australia tour has been announced, in which 3 players have been kept as reserves. The main squad of 15 players has been made, in which fast bowler Harshit Rana, who plays for Delhi in domestic matches, has also been included. The very next day after being selected for Border-Gavaskar, he has shown his attitude with the ball. Harshit has wreaked havoc in the ongoing Ranji Trophy match between Delhi and Assam. He has already made a roar by taking 4 wickets.
Harshit blows away Assam’s top-order
The match between Delhi and Assam started from 26th October at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Delhi captain Himmat Singh won the toss and decided to bowl first and Harshit Rana did not disappoint him. He completely destroyed the top order of Assam. Harshit, who played for KKR in IPL, showed the way to the pavilion along with both the openers and number 3 batsman Abhishek Thakuri. He took 4 wickets for 62 runs in the entire innings. Due to the lethal bowling of Harshit Rana, Delhi lost 6 wickets of Assam on the score of 274 runs by the end of the first day’s play.
Expected to debut in Australia
Harshit Rana has been selected for Team India for the last three series. But he is not getting a chance to debut. He was included in the T20 and ODI team on the Sri Lanka tour. But could not debut. Since then, despite being in the squad during the T20 series against Bangladesh, he did not get a chance to debut. Harshit was also kept as a reserve player in the ongoing series against New Zealand. But he was released during the Pune Test.
Now Harshit Rana has been selected for the Australia tour, where he is expected to make his debut. Right-arm fast bowler Harshit had impressed a lot during the last season of IPL. Earlier, he had left his mark in the Under-19 World Cup. He has played only 9 first class matches so far, in which he has taken 36 wickets at an average of 24.
