Mukund Praises Rana: Top ODI Bowler, Batting Potential
1 Jul
Summary
- Harshit Rana is India's top ODI bowler in recent years.
- Rana possesses significant potential as a lower-order batter.
- Team management values Rana's all-round capabilities.
Abhinav Mukund, a former Indian Test opener, has identified Harshit Rana as India's premier ODI bowler for the past two to three years. Speaking on 'The Great Indian Cricket Show,' Mukund emphasized Rana's significant potential with the bat, suggesting he could effectively play at the number 8 position.
The team management reportedly places considerable trust in Rana's all-round abilities. This evaluation occurs as India aims to maintain a strong bowling attack while also ensuring sufficient batting depth in the lower order.
Mukund drew a distinction between players like Nitish Kumar Reddy and Hardik Pandya, noting their different strengths. He suggested that teams should leverage these strengths at various game phases, considering batting and bowling capabilities.
Currently, both Nitish Kumar Reddy and Hardik Pandya are managing injuries. Pandya has not been included in recent squads, while Nitish Kumar Reddy missed earlier T20Is due to injury.
