Harshit Rana is gradually becoming the silent hero of Team India. In the last ODI match against Australia, he took 4 wickets and his economy rate was also less than five. Even in the second ODI, he played a cameo inning of 24 runs and helped India reach a respectable score. Meanwhile, according to media reports, head coach Gautam Gambhir has warned Harshit.

Harshit Rana’s childhood coach Shravan Kumar has made a big revelation. Questions were raised on his selection in the Indian squad. Even when Arshdeep Singh was dropped from the playing eleven of the last ODI against Australia and Harshit was included in the playing eleven, this decision was also heavily criticized. Shravan Kumar told that Harshit wanted to silence the critics with his performance.

Harshit called me and…

Talking to Times of India, Shravan Kumar said, “He called me and said that he wants to silence the critics with his performance. I just said, “Believe in yourself.” I know some cricketers say that Harshit is close to Gambhir. Gambhir knows how to identify serious talent and also supports him.”

He further said, “Gambhir has supported many cricketers and the same players have done very well in the future. He even scolded Harshit badly. He clearly told Harshit, ‘Perform, otherwise I will make you sit out.’ No matter who is in front, Gambhir expresses his views clearly.”

Shravan Kumar also made a scathing attack on Chris Srikkanth who criticized Indian fast bowler Harshit Rana. He said, “First, Kris Srikkanth targeted this kid (Harshit). After retirement, cricketers have started their own YouTube channels, but do not target those players whose career has just started. Their job may be to give advice, scold, but do not make any claims for views on YouTube.”

When Harshit Rana was included in the Indian squad for the Australian tour, the selection committee and head coach Gautam Gambhir were criticized all around. When Harshit was badly beaten in the first ODI against Australia in Perth, Gautam Gambhir was once again taken to task.

Rana took a total of 4 wickets in the third ODI and was also India’s most successful bowler in the match.

Harshit Rana silenced his critics

While making a sharp attack on Harshit Rana, veteran Indian cricketer Chris Srikkanth had said that Rana got a place in the team only because he supports Gautam Gambhir. On the other hand, Ravichandran Ashwin admitted that Harshit Rana has talent, but he questioned the decision of the selectors to give him continuous opportunities. On the other hand, Harshit was criticized a lot on the internet also.

Now Harshit Rana bowled 8.4 overs in Sydney, in which he gave runs at a good economy rate of 4.50. He was also India’s most successful bowler in Sydney, taking 4 wickets. In the match, Washington Sundar took 2 wickets, while Akshar Patel, Mohammad Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Kuldeep Yadav took one wicket each.

When Gautam Gambhir heard the news of Harshit Rana being criticized, he defended the 23-year-old bowler. Gambhir said that a 23 year old young player should not be targeted.

Best performance of Harshit’s ODI career

This was Harshit Rana’s best performance in his ODI career of 8 matches so far. This is the first time that Harshit has taken 4 wickets in an innings. Before this, his best performance came against Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy this year, when he took 3 wickets for just 31 runs in 7.4 overs. Now Harshit has taken 16 wickets in 8 ODI matches.
