Harshit Rana, IND vs AUS: Team India will fly to Australia with many talented young cricketers in the squad; Harshit Rana is one of them. In the recent past, the 22-year-old right-arm fast bowler has made his mark in domestic cricket. Harshit Ran, born in Delhi, will have to take a flight to Australia soon. Team India will face Australia in the prestigious Border Gavaskar Trophy, where two teams are going to play five matches with each other. Before taking a flight to Australia, Harshit has spoken about who he grows to cherish his dream to be a team India bowler.
“The kind of competitive attitude I like to play cricket with on the field is very similar to Australia’s. It was my father’s dream that I play a Test against England sometime at Lord’s, but I personally like Australia more. I am proud of myself, that my name came up for this tour,” Harshit told ESPNCricinfo.
“Only when the team was announced did I know I was going to Australia. But I had indications that I might be selected for the Australia tour because they had me with the team to prepare. Being selected for the Australia tour is a big deal for me.”

This lesson is not only about cricket, but also about life, how a sportsperson advances in his career and life… Gambhir bhaiyya has always backed me and if I have to ask anything, I always go to him and talk to him and he always gives me the right guidance. Under him, I have grown a lot in the IPL and he has taught me a lot of things.”
