Mukesh kumar and Harshit Rana are two respective performers for India B and India D today. First of all, Harshit Rana bowled tremendously against India A. India’s rising pace-bowling sensation Harshit demonstrated his prowess by registering a four-wicket haul for India D in the Duleep Trophy match against India A in Anantapur. This impressive performance follows his successful stint with the KKR under Gautam Gambhir’s leadership, where he helped the team to clinch the IPL 2024 title. Rana’s consistent performances have been seen as a strong argument for his inclusion in the Indian national cricket team. Shashwat Rawat was Rana’s first victim in the game as India A were reduced to 93/5 while batting first. He then sent back tail-ender Prasidh Krishna as India D claimed eight wickets on the opening day. Rana took the remaining two wickets in no time on Day 2 morning as India D were folded for 290. Notably, the pacer also stopped Shams Mulani from reaching the three-figure mark. Rana has impressive track record in domestic cricket and was also included in India u19 side who recently had played wc final against Australia, although India lost that final but Harshit performance was remarkable throughout the tournament. Rana’s cricketing journey has been marked by significant achievements. The 22-year-old fast bowler was also selected for the first two T20Is during India’s tour of Zimbabwe, following the conclusion of the ICC T20 World Cup. Rana, however, is still uncapped in international cricket. With his latest spell, he has raced to 36 wickets across nine First-Class games. Mukesh, who was snubbed for the 1st Bangladesh Test match, starting September 19, made his presence felt with figures worth 4/126 from 32 overs. He bowled four maidens. He started off by dismissing Sai Sudharsan (43) before breaking a tall partnership between Kishan and Indrajith by getting the former’s scalp. He dismissed Abishek Porel
next and on Day 2, he dismissed the big wicket of Ruturaj Gaikwad who was in the search of hundred but got dismissed on 58 runs by Mukesh Kumar. Mukesh picked 5 wickets in the match against India D in round 1 of the 2024 Duleep Trophy. He has now taken another four-fer to race to 9 scalps. Mukesh now owns 175 wickets in First-Class cricket. He claimed his 10th fer. Mukesh now will hope that after this performance his name would again be in reckoning for India’s upcoming squad
