KKR's Harshit Rana Shines with Maiden ODI Fifty and Three Wickets in Indore Decider
Kolkata Knight Riders' pace all-rounder Harshit Rana delivered a standout performance in the third ODI against New Zealand, showcasing his rapidly developing all-round capabilities. Rana was instrumental with the ball, claiming three crucial wickets for 84 runs, helping India restrict the Kiwis despite a massive partnership in the middle overs.
However, it was his contribution with the bat that truly impressed. Coming in late in the chase of 338, Rana smashed a quickfire 52 off just 43 deliveries, registering his maiden ODI half-century. He stitched together a vital 99-run partnership with Virat Kohli, briefly reviving India's hopes. This dual performance highlights Rana's potential as a genuine white-ball all-rounder, offering a significant boost to KKR ahead of the IPL season.

I think Harshit is pulling his weight in the side. He bats decently. Of course, he has been selected with promise because very few bowlers bowl at 140 kph and give batting at No. 8. You have a contender for the World Cup, where if you need a pacer and not a spinner at No. 8, you can always have Harshit there.
