Harshit Rana, the 22-year-old pacer from Delhi, has emerged as one of the most promising fast bowlers in the Indian Premier League (IPL). With his ability to crank up the speed to the 140s and his impressive skill of reading the pitch well, Rana has quickly become a mainstay of the Kolkata Knight Riders bowling attack.
Despite facing some controversy during his IPL debut season, Rana has remained focused on his performances and has played a key role in KKR’s success this year. In nine innings, Rana has taken 16 wickets at a strike rate of 12.81, which is better than Jasprit Bumrah’s strike rate of 15.55.
Rana’s ability to adjust his lengths and pace according to the pitch conditions has been a key factor in his success. He can bowl short-pitched deliveries with accuracy and can also bowl slower balls to deceive the batsmen.
Rana’s performances have not gone unnoticed by the Indian cricket team selectors. He was recently named in the India A squad for the upcoming tour of South Africa. If he continues to perform well, Rana is likely to be in contention for a place in the national team in the near future.
Rana’s success is a testament to his hard work and dedication. He has worked tirelessly to improve his skills and has always been willing to learn from his more experienced teammates. Rana is a credit to the Kolkata Knight Riders and is a role model for young aspiring cricketers.
