Harshit Rana rocks Devon Conway’s stumps with a brilliant ball in Rajkot

Chasing a target of 285, New Zealand needed a steady start, but Rana had other plans. In the 6th over of the innings (5.2 overs), Rana bowled a ball that will be repeated for years. Running with intent, the Delhi pacer bowled a length ball at 137 km/h that veered sharply towards the middle stump.

Conway, who was usually calm at the crease, was torn between two minds. Hoping to maintain his line with the ball, the left-handed batsman committed too early to a defensive prod towards mid-off. However, the ball bounced back from the surface, crossed the inside edge, touched the pad and hit the off-stump, causing it to fall.

The celebration was as enthusiastic as the ball; Rana immediately told his captain Shubman Gill Pointed towards, then ran happily across the pitch. Conway was out for 16 off 21 balls, leaving New Zealand reeling at 22/1 and giving India the early breakthrough they desperately needed.
