The second and last Test against West Indies will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi from October 10. Before this match, Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir had organized a special dinner party at his Delhi home. The gathering of players at Gambhir’s luxurious house located in old Rajinder Nagar area on Monday night was worth seeing. The entire team arrived by bus, but young fast bowler Harshit Rana grabbed all the headlines of the party.

Team India players reached Gambhir’s house around 8 pm. Players like KL Rahul, Prasidh Krishna and Jasprit Bumrah arrived in simple white T-shirts. At the same time, Captain Shubhman Gill had dark glasses on his eyes even at night, but the entire limelight shifted when Harshit Rana entered in his black BMW car. Both fans and photographers were surprised to see Harshit’s style in black outfit while handling the steering himself.

Why did Harshit Rana not come in the team bus?
Harshit Rana may be constantly in the news, but at present he is not a part of the India-West Indies Test squad. In such a situation, they cannot stay in the team hotel nor can they come with the players in the team bus as per the protocol. Despite this, his reaching Gambhir’s house clearly shows that he has a good bonding with the head coach. It is believed that Gambhir had personally invited him for this dinner.
Questions raised on continuously staying with the team
Harshit Rana is in the news recently because he is being included in Team India’s squad in almost every series, even if he does not get a chance to play the match. Due to this, questions are being raised among cricket experts. Former Indian cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth had jokingly said that “Amidst so many changes, if any player is sure in the team, it is Harshit Rana.”
Harshit is considered Gambhir’s favorite
Harshit Rana, who plays for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL, is considered to be Gambhir’s favorite player. This is the reason why the chemistry between the two is visible even outside the field. Harshit’s presence at the dinner party has once again brought this relationship into the limelight.
