Video: Four matches, out four times…What gesture did Harshit Rana make with his hands after taking the wicket of Devon Conway in the Raipur match?
Harshit Rana on Devon Conway: Harshit Rana continued his brilliant performance with the ball against New Zealand and took full advantage of the opportunity he got in the playing eleven for the second T20I. He achieved early success by dismissing the dangerous Devon Conway, clearly showing his progress in international cricket in the last one year. Rana has shown clear improvement in recent months, and has silenced his critics with his all-round performances.
He was absolutely perfect in his first over in Raipur and gave India its first success by dismissing Conway, who was looking in dangerous form. This New Zealand batsman was making a great start to the innings, he had hit Arshdeep Singh for 18 runs in the very first over.
Made Conway his victim for the fourth time
When the ball was handed to Rana in the fourth over, Conway was on 19 runs in just eight balls. A well-bowled slow ball did wonders, Conway tried another big shot but was unable to time the shot and gave Hardik Pandya a catch inside the circle. Pandya handled the ball for a while before completing the catch. Rana then mischievously showed four fingers, indicating that he had dismissed Conway four times on this tour, including three in the ODI series.
Suryakumar Yadav decided to bat first
Earlier, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and decided to bowl first, citing dew as the main reason behind his decision. India made two changes in its playing eleven, in which injured Akshar Patel was ruled out of the match, while Jasprit Bumrah was rested. Kuldeep came in place of his IPL captain, while Rana was included in place of Bumrah.

What did captain Suryakumar say after winning the toss?
Suryakumar explained India’s decision at the time of the toss, citing the presence of dew and the team’s desire to test themselves while chasing. The captain also confirmed the condition of the pitch, the focus on continuous improvement and two changes to the playing eleven before the match. “We will bowl first. There is already a little dew there, we have not chased in recent times, so we want to chase. I think the pitch is looking good. I think it is the same wicket he said about, which was used for the ODI series. I think every game we play, we try to improve in all aspects. We are never perfect. We are always learning.
