Harshit Rana cast a masterful spell to bring India back with a bang.
Harshit Rana bowled two beautiful deliveries to dismiss Jack Clayton and Oliver Davies in the space of three deliveries during the game between the Prime Minister’s XI and India in Canberra. Both deliveries were almost unplayable and the batsman could hardly do anything to survive with those balls.
He first bowled a back-of-the-line delivery on the fourth line of stump, and the ball came in sharply and rushed the batsman off the ground. Clayton was caught at his crease and the ball crashed into the stumps before he could bring his bat down and lose the wicket.
Two deliveries later, Rana bowled a longer delivery on the mid-stump line and the ball continued to come in at the angle. Davies tried to play the angle but couldn’t get his bat right and the stumps behind him shook in an instant.

India were a little on the defensive after a partnership for the third wicket, but Rana provided India with a perfect comeback. He bowled ideal lines and lengths, and the opposition batsmen could do little more than lose their wickets one after another in Canberra.
India fields Prime Minister’s XI with just 240
After winning the toss, India opted to bowl first and bowled exceptionally well to start with the pink ball. They picked up two first wickets as Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep provided them with early breakthroughs before a 109-run partnership between Sam Konstas and Jack Clayton to get the Prime Minister’s XI back on track.
However, Harshit Rana cast a masterful spell to bring India back with a bang. He snared four wickets in his two overs to derail the opponent’s innings. He aimed at the stumps and the pink ball did just enough to help him.
Later, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja also got a wicket each to restrict the Prime Minister’s XI to just 240 in the first innings. It was a collective effort by the Indian bowlers, who were brilliant from the first over.
Your hitters will now get some hitting practice with the pink ball moving a little more than the red ball. It will be vital ahead of the Day-Night Test against Australia in Adelaide.
