Harshit Rana’s BattingVadodara: Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer played important roles with the bat in India’s victory in the Vadodara ODI, but it would be unfair to ignore the contribution of fast bowler Harshit Rana. Rana played a short but important innings of 29 runs on Sunday when India was in trouble. After the match, he revealed that the team management is preparing him as an all-rounder.

Actually, it is said about Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir that he likes all-rounders. During his tenure, all-rounders are getting more and more opportunities. Meanwhile, after the four-wicket win against New Zealand, fast bowler Harshit Rana has confirmed that the team management has asked him to work on improving his batting skills. He halted New Zealand’s lead by taking two wickets at the top of the order in the first ODI on Sunday and played an important inning of 29 runs in 23 balls at the end of the chase.
In the second innings, after Virat Kohli was out, Ravindra Jadeja also returned to the pavilion cheaply. Soon after this Shreyas Iyer was also out. India’s score at that time was 242/5 in 41.1 overs. Whereas KL Rahul was seen struggling with the bat. In such a situation, Rana batted before injured Washington Sundar and made the team’s comeback by scoring 29 runs in 23 balls. “The team management wants to groom me as an all-rounder, and it is my job to keep working on it,” Rana told reporters after India’s win.
Even before this, Harshit Rana has played important innings for India. He played an unbeaten inning of 24 runs in 18 balls in the Adelaide ODI against Australia. After this, when India was in trouble in Melbourne T20I, Rana scored 35 runs in 33 balls. These figures show his ability in batting.
