The Indian team management has been showing faith on Harshit Rana again and again. In the last India vs Australia match, the management pushed Harshit Rana as a batter. He batted well indeed. During this time, he smashed a huge six as well.

The Indian team is currently playing a T20 series in Australia. For the past few months, one player from Team India has been the talk of the town. Harshit Rana, whom India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir considers an all-rounder, scored 35 runs in the Melbourne T20. He was sent in to bat ahead of Shivam Dube in the eighth over. Harshit Rana proved this decision right by anchoring the innings and forging a 56-run partnership with Abhishek Sharma. During this innings, Harshit Rana hit a six, after which coach Gautam Gambhir’s reaction is going viral.

In the second T20I against Australia on October 31st, Harshit Rana delivered a performance that fans and critics will long remember. He was sent in to bat after India were 5 wickets down for 49 runs. Along with Abhishek Sharma, Harshit added 56 runs, the highest partnership of India’s innings. He was promoted up the batting order ahead of experienced all-rounder Shivam Dube. He scored 35 runs off 33 balls, including three fours and a magnificent six.

Gambhir faced criticism for selecting Rana over Arshdeep Singh. The head coach has consistently defended his selection, citing Rana’s batting abilities as crucial to the team. This match proved that Gambhir’s faith in Rana was justified.

This shot came off a slower delivery from Marcus Stoinis. This six not only took India past 100 but also significantly boosted the team’s morale. Gambhir’s reaction when Harshit hit the six was worth watching. His face clearly showed his relief. Gambhir has been widely criticized for excluding Arshdeep Singh from the playing eleven. This six was his answer to all his critics.
