Harshit Rana IPL Career

Harshit Rana was acquired by the Kolkata Knight Riders for INR 20 lakhs as a replacement for the injured Jammu and Kashmir pacer Rasikh Salam during IPL 2022. He made his IPL debut against the Delhi Capitals and scalped his maiden wicket in the form of Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh.

Rana was not utilized during his first two seasons, but he had a breakthrough season in IPL 2024, as he dazzled with the ball in the final over of KKR’s opening game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. With Heinrich Klaasen running away with the game, Rana was given the task of bowling the most crucial last over with 13 runs in hand to defend.

In the same game, his on-field celebratory gesture against the Sunrisers opener Mayank Agarwal grabbed eyeballs.

Rana was having a terrific season with the ball and stitched a great partnership with Australian veteran Mitchell Starc and Vaibhav Arora in KKR’s pace battery. However, was at the receiving end when he was handed a one-match ban for gesturing a flying kiss celebration after dismissing Abhishek Porel and was penalized with 100% of his match fee as well for breaching IPL’s code of conduct.

The KKR speedster finished the season on a high with his skipper Shreyas Iyer entrusting him with tough overs as the Knight Riders won their third IPL title and Rana finished as the team’s joint-second-highest wicket-taker along with Andre Russell by taking 19 wickets in 13 games, only behind spinner Varun Chakravarthy.

Harshit Rana International Career

With a new-look squad assembled for India’s tour of Zimbabwe in July 2024 after the senior members were rested for sweating it out in the T20 World Cup 2024, Harshit Rana was expected to make a cut for the squad after his tremendous performance with the ball in IPL 2024.

After failing to make it to the initial squad, Rana was later called upon along with batter Sai Sudharsan and wicket-keeper Jitesh Sharma after Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Shivam Dube were left stranded in the Caribbean owing to a hurricane.

With a maiden India call-up on his sleeve, Rana would be aiming to debut sooner rather than later and would be living his dream of playing in Indian colors.
