IND vs AFG 3rd ODI: Indian team suddenly changed! Surprise entry of this powerful player just before the third ODI

A big news is coming out before the third and last ODI match against Afghanistan. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has suddenly made a big change in the squad of Team India. The team’s star all-rounder and fast bowler Harshit Rana has completely recovered from his injury and has made a strong comeback in the team. BCCI has officially announced this and included him in the 15-member main team for the last match.

Harshit Rana returned after overcoming injury, joined the team in Chennai

There is an atmosphere of excitement among cricket fans as soon as the news of Harshit Rana’s return comes. He completely completed his rehabilitation process at the BCCI Center of Excellence (COE) located in Bengaluru. Immediately after this, he reached Chennai and joined the Indian ODI squad. Harshit Rana’s return to the team will give a new balance and amazing strength to Indian bowling, especially in the death overs. Rana, famous for his strong line-length and speed, is returning to the field after a long time. This is also a big relief news for the Indian selectors in view of the upcoming foreign tours.

Had to miss T20 World Cup and IPL season due to injury

The last few times have been very tumultuous and disappointing for Harshit Rana. He suffered a serious knee injury during a practice match against South Africa in Navi Mumbai. Due to this one injury, he was out of many big and important tournaments. The biggest shock came when he was ruled out of this year’s T20 World Cup due to injury, which was later won by the Indian team. Not only this, Harshit Rana, who played for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL, could not take the field in the entire IPL season due to the same knee problem.

There will be competition in fast bowling for Chennai ODI, Gill has the best option

After the sudden entry of Harshit Rana, the competition for a place in the fast bowling department of Team India has increased a lot. Captain Shubman Gill now has another strong option available in the form of Rana along with Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna and young Gurnoor Brar. Since this is the last match of this series and India has already won the series, keeping the upcoming series in mind, the team management can give Rana a chance in the playing eleven so that his match fitness can be tested properly.

This is what the updated Indian team now looks like for the third ODI

The complete squad of the Indian team after the inclusion of Harshit Rana is as follows:

Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer (vice-captain), KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Prince Yadav, Gurnoor Brar, Harsh Dubey, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Harshit Rana.
