According to reports, Harshit Rana, a seamer for Delhi, had an exciting start to his promising domestic season on Tuesday when he was called up to the Indian team for the third Test match against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The 22-year-old fast bowler from Delhi is expected to make his Test debut on Friday after making an impression with the ball and bat throughout the current season. He will go for Mumbai on Tuesday night and will not play in Delhi’s round-four matches.
The young pacer’s quick rise in India’s domestic scene continues with his call-up to the Test team. He was also included in the 18-man team for the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia the day before India’s most recent series defeat to New Zealand in Pune.
After being removed from his position as a traveling reserve with the national team to get match experience, Rana put up a strong show in Delhi’s Ranji Trophy third-round encounter against Assam, which led to his selection.
Rana demonstrated his versatility at the Arun Jaitley Stadium by taking five wickets, his second in first-class cricket, and reaching a crucial half-century (59). Delhi won by a resounding 10-wicket margin and earned a vital extra point thanks to his heroics.
Sarandeep Singh, the head coach of Delhi, said that Rana is prepared for the rigors of Test cricket. “He is prepared to play cricket in Test matches. He understands what he’s doing and is a cheerful man. A former BCCI selector, Sarandeep, told PTI, “He is prepared for the highest level.”
He is a good all-rounder who bowled his heart out for Delhi. He is always searching for wickets. Like a horse, he can bowl for extended periods of time. “I hope he has a great time in Australia,” he said. The selectors were impressed by his speed and accuracy, and he was included in India’s T20I team to play Bangladesh. Despite not making his debut in that season, Rana kept demonstrating his abilities. Before departing for the crucial Australia visit, India, behind 2-0 in the series, would try to secure a consolation victory in Mumbai.
