The coach’s thinking is the same bowler whose name is now another unique record

New Delhi. Often we create an opinion towards a person who is not necessarily right. This thing applies to India’s young fast bowler Harshit Rana. When he was included in the team when he came into the discussion when he was seen in the playing XI he became a hot topic. Harshit Rana, who came out to play the first match in the Champions Trophy, trolled in Dubai until he took the wicket in the beginning.

When Harshit was preferred over Arshdeep, he was trolled a lot on social media. But when Bangladesh’s innings ended, everyone became calm because by then Rana ji, who was called the favorite of the coach, had created history.

Rana’s record is unique

Harshit Rana made three wickets to take more than three wickets, making debut in all three formats of cricket for India, it was only a few days that he made history by taking 3 wickets in the first match of the ICC tournament. The 23 -year -old fast bowler took three wickets after spending 48 runs in Perth against Australia. After that he managed to play his first T20 match in the five -match T20 International series, which was recently held against England. Where in Pune, he had taken three wickets in the first T20 match after spending 33 runs, his sharp bowling was also seen when he managed to achieve three successes while making his ODI debut in Nagpur. And now Harshit showed this feat in the first match of the Champions Trophy.

Wickets in the first over of ICC tournament

Harshit Rana was proving to be very expensive in his first spell in the ODI series against England. He was achieving success by returning to the second and third spells, but Harshit got a wicket in the first over in the second match of the Champions Trophy 2025 against Bangladesh. He dismissed Bangladesh captain Najmul Hussain Shanto. Shanto drove the ball and Virat Kohli caught the ball at a shortis cover point. After this, Harshit did not look back and supported Shami and played an important role in settling Bangladesh’s innings.
