The Indian team has taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match T20 series by defeating England by 15 runs in the fourth T20 match played in Pune. Similarly, India continued its winning campaign of winning the T20 series on home ground since 2019 and won its 17th consecutive T20 series at home. Fast bowler Harshit Rana played an important role in helping India win this match, he was not even selected in the playing-11 for the match, but Harshit, who came on the field as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dubey, did wonders on his debut.

Harshit got a chance to come on the field in place of Shivam Dubey. As per ICC rules, a player who comes on as a concussion substitute can bat or bowl. India got the benefit of this and Harshit was successful in making his T20 International debut as a concussion substitute. Harshit conceded 33 runs in four overs and was successful in taking three wickets. In this way, Harshit became the seventh player in the world to debut in international cricket, while he became the first bowler to debut in T20 International.

Harshit told the strategy.

After the match, Harshit said, it is still like a dream debut for me. After two overs, I was told that I will come on the field as a concussion substitute. This is not just about this series because I was waiting for this opportunity for a long time and wanted to prove that I want to be in the team. I bowled well in the IPL and wanted to perform like this at the international level as well.

Shivam Dubey was injured.

Shivam Dubey was injured in the last over of India's innings. Jamie Overton's ball hit his helmet, after which a team of doctors reached the field to check his condition. But after the innings was over, he had to go for concussion check. Due to this, Harshit Rana was fielded in his place.
