On Friday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that Harshit Rana has joined Team India. The third and last ODI match between India and Afghanistan will be played on June 20 in Chennai. Team India has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series and now India has a chance to clean sweep Afghanistan.
Now the arrival of Harshit Rana in Team India before the third ODI match will be strengthening the Indian pace attack. Let us tell you that Harshit was injured in the warm-up match against South Africa before the T20 World Cup. After that he could not play even in T20 World Cup and IPL 2026.
Well, the arrival of Harshit Rana has definitely strengthened the pace attack of Team India, but the biggest question is how he will be fitted in the playing eleven. Which player will have to be out because of Harshit.
Who will be out?
If we look at the bowling attack of the first and second ODI matches against Afghanistan, the Indian management has given opportunity to Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar and Prince Yadav. Whereas Nitish Kumar Reddy is playing the role of sixth bowler in the team. Arshdeep is leading the pace attack, while Gurnoor Brar has taken 6 wickets in his debut series, which is the most in the entire series so far. In such a situation, Gurnoor may get a chance to play in the third ODI also.
Prince Yadav got a chance in the second ODI, where he proved to be expensive but took 2 wickets. But on the basis of form, priority can be given to Gurnoor Brar. Therefore, Prince Yadav may be dropped from the playing eleven. At the same time, with the arrival of Harshit, another batting option will open.
