Rana constructed the over so beautifully, and it would have been the fifth consecutive dot in the over, but he spoiled all the efforts and gave four easy runs to the opponent.
Rohit Sharma was livid at Harshit Rana after the bowler took an unnecessary shy at the stumps in his followthrough and the ball went for a boundary. The event unfolded on the fifth delivery of the 32nd over when Harshit’s overreaction led to an unwanted four, which can be costly.
Rana bowled a length delivery, to which Buttler defended back to the bowler, who collected it neatly but didn’t stop just here. He threw the ball back at the stumps wildly, but the ball didn’t hit the stumps and went straight to the boundary for an overthrow.
Rohit wasn’t pleased with this needless aggression and had a few words to share with Harshit, who had to listen to them quietly. Barring the Indian captain, several other Indian players expressed their displeasure at Rana’s attempt and shook their heads.
Rana constructed the over so beautifully, and it would have been the fifth consecutive dot in the over, but he spoiled all the efforts and gave four easy runs to the opponent. He is an aggressive bowler who likes competition but should know where to draw the line and not give any freebies to the opposition just to show unnecessary aggression.
After England lost Ben Duckett in the 16th over, they required a partnership to avoid a collapse and keep the innings moving. Joe Root and Harry Brook built a decent stand for the fourth wicket, where the latter struggled heavily at the start.

However, Brook kept his composure, remained at the crease and soon started playing his shots. Rohit Sharma appointed Harshit Rana into the attack for a fresh spell, but the start wasn’t as expected.
He bowled a few loose deliveries and conceded boundaries but made a strong comeback to send Harry Brook back to the pavilion. Rana deliberately bowled a slower one, knowing the batter would play a big shot, and Shubman Gill completed a terrific catch.
Since then, Joe Root and Jos Buttler have ensured England are on track to a good first-innings total. India must restrict them to as low a score as possible to avoid chasing a big total.
