Asia Cup: Fast Bowler Harshit Rana is ready to distribute the Asia Cup, tested preparations of DPL

Cricket News Desk. When fast bowler Harshit Rana was selected in the Indian T20 team for the Asia Cup, many people were surprised. The question arose about how this fast bowler, who only played a T20 match for India, found a place in the team, while his performance in IPL 2025 was very simple. In the last season of the IPL, Harshit took only 15 wickets in 13 games and his economy was also 10.18. Rana, who has been with the main test team for some time after India-A’s tour in England, played his last match for the national team in the Champions Trophy in February. There are only a few days left for the Asia Cup to start, and despite a bad performance, Harshit, which again gets a chance, still can’t reach his rhythm. Harshit, who was with the Indian team in England for a few days, said that, after returning from England, he was constantly playing tournaments to retain his fitness. The possibility of playing XI is less likely to get a chance in playing XI in the early games of the Asia Cup, as Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya will be present in a quick bowling to support bumrah. The UAE tone height is favorable for spinners, so the number of spinners in playing XI can exceed bowlers quickly. India had the option of five spinners when India last played the Champions Trophy match in the UAE. Rana has so far played only one T20 international match. In January 2025, he made his Cankation replacement (involved in playing XI in place of the injured player during the match) and took three wickets for 33 runs. Jaspreet Bumrah, who was encouraged by Jasprit Bumrah, has three out of the five Test matches under the charge management (to prevent injury and fatigue) in England, but will be available for the entire Asia Cup. Rana said: ‘I can’t tell you how helpful Jassi (Jasprit Bumrah)’ s experience is. Playing with them is really special, it makes things easy for us. “If they are present, the pressure on us is less. “Rana further said:” I try to be patient, playing by wearing the Indian team jersey is always very exciting. Our team has a wonderful bowling unit. Every time I try to give my best without thinking about the result. Not even in the best top 20 bowling, Harshit Rana says that DPL matches were the ideal preparation of the Asia Cup for him, but the statistics say something else. Harsshit, who played two Tests and five ODIs for India, has so far played eight games in DPL and has only taken 11 wickets. His average in this tournament was 19.18, while the economy rate was 7.81. When we talk about the best bowling figures, their best (3/35) performance in this eight team’s tournament is also not included in the top 20 list of best bowling figures. Share this story -tags
