Harshit Rana: A Rising Star in Indian Cricket
The Indian Premier League (IPL) has introduced many stars to Indian cricket, and Harshit Rana is one of the latest to make a significant impact. Picked up by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as a replacement player for Rasikh Dar in 2022 for 20 lacs, Harshit Rana quickly developed into a crucial factor in KKR’s title win in 2024.
Harshit Rana on RCB’s IPL Struggles
During a conversation on Subhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel, Harshit Rana shared his thoughts on why Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) has been unable to win an IPL trophy. Despite RCB’s consistent efforts since the league’s inception, they have never succeeded in clinching the title. According to Harshit, RCB’s failure is due to a lack of luck. “Sir, unki kismat kharab hain,” Harshit told Subhankar Mishra.
RCB made a dramatic comeback to reach the IPL playoffs but fell short in the eliminator game against Rajasthan.
Harshit Rana’s Impactful IPL 2024
KKR’s triumph in the IPL 2024 was greatly supported by Harshit Rana, who played a crucial role as their second-highest wicket-taker, claiming 19 wickets in 13 matches. His performance was not just about the numbers; he also gained fame for his unique flying kiss celebration against SRH during the league stage.
Rana celebrated Mayank Agarwal’s wicket with a flying kiss, which landed him in trouble, costing him 60 percent of his match fee. He refrained from repeating the celebration and later mentioned that it wasn’t planned. The celebration, however, found a fan in KKR co-owner Shahrukh Khan, who celebrated the title win with the same flying kiss gesture after defeating SRH in the final.
A Promising Future
Harshit Rana is yet to debut for India, but his impressive performances in the IPL suggest that he is one of the players expected to make his debut soon. His journey from a replacement player to a key factor in KKR’s title win showcases his talent and potential to contribute significantly to Indian cricket in the future.(Dubai7 realmoneygame)
