Fri Feb 07 08:01:38 UTC 2025: ## Indian Bowler Rana Stars in ODI Debut Against England
**Nagpur, India** – Harshit Rana made a stunning ODI debut for India on Thursday, taking three crucial wickets in a match-winning performance against England in Nagpur. Although his sixth over went for 26 runs, the Kolkata Knight Riders bowler quickly recovered, dismissing Ben Duckett (32), Harry Brook (0), and Liam Livingstone (5) in a crucial spell.
England, electing to bat first, started aggressively, but India fought back with disciplined bowling and sharp fielding. A brilliant run-out by Shreyas Iyer, removing the dangerous Phil Salt (43), further hampered England’s progress. Rana attributed his success to adjusting his length after a shaky start, targeting the stumps to counter the batters’ attempts to make room. His impressive figures of 3 for 53, combined with Ravindra Jadeja’s 3 for 26, restricted England to 248. While Jos Buttler (52) and Will Bethell (51) also contributed significantly for England, India’s disciplined bowling ultimately proved decisive. Rana’s performance highlighted his potential as a key player in India’s bowling attack.
