Harshit Rana, India vs New Zealand: The third test between India and New Zealand is around the corner. After the humiliating defeat in two consecutive matches, a strategy is now being considered in the Indian camp. New Zealand achieved a feat which had never happened before in the history of Test cricket. The Indian team may have lost the series, but now it is the turn to counterattack. Meanwhile, news has come out that there is going to be a big change in the Indian team before the third test. It is possible that Harshit Rana will be seen playing in the third Test in Mumbai from November 1.
Harshit Rana may get a chance to play in Mumbai Test
The third and last match of the India vs New Zealand series will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from November 1. Now the news of Indian Express has come out, it has been said that before the third test, fast bowler Harshit Rana will be included in Team India. If this happens then this will also be the international debut of Harshit Rana. Before this, he has been included in the Indian team, but he has not got a chance to play in the playing eleven. But now it is possible that November 1st may be the date when Harshit will be seen on the field in the jersey of the Indian team. However, an update is still awaited from BCCI for this.
Either Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep may be given rest.
If Harshit Rana enters Team India for the next match, then it is also certain that he will be seen playing. In such a situation, either Jasprit Bumrah or Akash Deep can be given rest. Akash Deep has played only one match in this series, but Bumrah is playing continuously. Now the series has been lost and from next month Team India will go to Australia for a five-Test series. For that, it is very important for Jasprit Bumrah to remain fit, in such a situation, he should be given rest and Rana should get a chance to play in his place. However, it will be very interesting to see what the final decision will be.
Will be retained as an uncapped player for KKR in IPL
Meanwhile, there is also a catch that the retention date of IPL 2025 is 31st October. The third test will be held from November 1st. In such a situation, if KKR retains him, he will be retained as an uncapped player. Because retention will happen before that. But after the way Harshit Rana has bowled for KKR in the IPL, it is certain that he will be retained. It remains to be seen how Harshit performs when he plays for India on the international stage.
