In the third and last ODI clash between India vs Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Indian bowlers displayed an outstanding performance and put Australia under pressure. India bowled out Australia for 236 runs in 46.4 overs, and pacer Harshit Rana claimed 4 wickets for India.

“At what basis is Harshit Rana playing instead of Arshdeep Singh?” -A few hours before the start of the third ODI against Australia, fans questioned India’s team selection. The selection of India’s ODI squad for the Australia tour has sparked controversy, particularly regarding the inclusion of Harshit Rana. However, Rana gave a reply to the critics with his bowling performance against Australia by taking four crucial wickets for 39 runs in 8.4 overs.

Rana made his delivery with a strong start. He dismissed important Australian players, like Alex Carey, Cooper Connolly, Mitchell Owen, and Josh Hazlewood. Rana’s breakthrough came when Australia were 124 for 3. His four-wicket haul added 10 wickets in 5 ODIs with an average of 20.70. His performance is also a message of trust from head coach Gautam Gambhir, who showed it by including him in the squad. Harshit Rana’s bowling today was a vital contribution for India, and it highlights his ability to perform under pressure. His efforts against Australia might change the current perception of him.
