Former Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan also remains optimistic and believes that Harshit Rana will rise to the occassion. Harshit Rana, the rising pacer for India has been called up as Jasprit Bumrah’s replacement and has impressed everyone with his ODI debut against England. In just few months Rana has represented India in all the three formats and Dhawan believes that he can provide much needed spark to the Indian Team in Dubai.
Harshit Rana Can Be The ‘X-Factor’
“At the same time, Harshit Rana has come into the side and I think that is really exciting – keep an eye on him, I think he could have a breakout tournament,” he added.
“I like his attitude, he is a go-getter and he is not afraid of anything. He accepts challenges and we have seen in the England series that he is in form. I am sure he will look to seize this opportunity and, if he does, he could provide a real x-factor for India,” said Dhawan.
