Gambhir Eyes Harshit Rana as All-Rounder for 2027 World Cup

Gambhir Eyes Harshit Rana as All-Rounder for 2027 World Cup

Gautam Gambhir, the coach of the Indian cricket team, wants to make Harshit Rana a better batsman so he can bat at number 8 in the team.

This is because Gambhir thinks having a bowler who can also bat well will help the team in big matches like the 2027 World Cup.

Rana has been playing well and took 4 wickets in the recent series against South Africa.

Gambhir also praised other young bowlers like Arshdeep and Prasidh for doing a good job.

He believes that developing Rana as an all-rounder will give the team a big advantage, especially when Jasprit Bumrah returns.

It's a long-term plan, but Gambhir is hopeful that Rana can become a valuable player for India.
