Harshit Rana’s Performance and Celebrations Draw Scrutiny After Sri Lanka Encounter

Harshit Rana’s bowling spell against Sri Lanka led to criticism due to his high economy rate. While displaying impressive pace, his lack of control allowed Sri Lankan batsmen to score freely. Kris Srikkanth questioned Rana’s ‘filmy gimmicks,’ suggesting they were a negative distraction from the game. Srikkanth praised Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy, emphasizing their impact on the match. Rana’s final over saw him take a key wicket, but the match went to a Super Over, ultimately won by India, secured by Arshdeep Singh’s tight bowling. The ex-India skipper observed that the wrist spinners were the key to India’s success, and Sri Lanka exposed some chinks in the Indian bowling armor.
