Harshit Rana Credits Jasprit Bumrah and Morne Morkel for His Development
Indian bowler Harshit Rana has quickly made a name for himself, debuting in all three formats of the game within a short span. After contributing to India’s recent six-wicket victory over Bangladesh, Rana took a moment to acknowledge the significant influence that veteran speedster Jasprit Bumrah and bowling coach Morne Morkel have had on his journey.
A Valuable Learning Experience
Rana, who debuted in Test cricket during the prestigious Border-Gavaskar series last December, expressed his gratitude for the mentorship he received from Bumrah. “I get a lot of benefit from working with Jassi bhai. He has a lot of experience. He always guides me on how to bowl in which format,” Rana noted. His time spent sharing the dressing room with Bumrah during the Australia tour has been instrumental in shaping his approach to different formats.
Focus on Consistency
The young pacer emphasized the importance of consistency, a trait he has keenly picked up from Bumrah. “We often discussed Test matches in Australia and also about various other formats. One thing I have picked up from him is consistency,” he shared. Additionally, Rana credited Morne Morkel for honing his skills, particularly in improving his line and length.
Looking Ahead to the India-Pakistan Match
With an impressive performance against Bangladesh, where he took three wickets, Rana is now focused on maintaining his momentum for the highly anticipated India-Pakistan clash. “I will take today’s momentum forward. Of course, there’s always a lot of hype around an India-Pakistan game, but we are treating it like any other match,” he stated confidently.
As Rana continues to impress on the international stage, his journey serves as an inspiration for aspiring cricketers. For those looking to stay updated on the latest sports news, including how to watch the ICC Champions Trophy live, visit Looffers.com.
