Indian all-rounder Harshit Rana impressed everyone during his debut in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy’s first Test match at Perth. He, along with Siraj and Bumrah, bundled the Australian batting lineup for a total of 104 runs. The youngster has been given a target to bowl a delivery of 150 kmph, by his father.
In the first match between India and Australia, Rana delivered an amazing spell with figures of 3 for 48 in a 15.2-over spell. He was looking promising in the first clash, but things fell apart in Adelaide. Harshit leaked runs in the second game, conceding 86 runs without taking a single wicket, resulting in a costly performance for his team.
In a recent interview, Mr. Pradeep Rana, the father of cricketer Harshit Rana, revealed that he has given a challenge to his son. He wants his son to consistently bowl at a speed of 150 km/h, pushing him to enhance his pace and make a mark as a fast bowler in competitive cricket.
Harshit Rana’s father stated, “I have challenged him to bowl 150 kmph. I have told him I will consider you a player the day you touch 150 kmph. If you bowl 150 kmph, no one will stop you from playing for India, but if you bowl 125 kmph, even a local club will not select you.”
This statement shows the ambition and determination of both father and son, reflecting their shared commitment to achieving excellence and making a significant impact in the world of cricket.
