Harshit Rana Concussion Substitute Controversy: Experts Feel "India Were Hugely Advantaged..."

Harshit Rana had a fantastic T20I debut on Friday with the Indian cricket team pacer scalping three important wickets against England in the fourth T20I in Pune. However, Rana grabbed the spotlight after he came in as a 'like-for-like' concussion substitute for Shivam Dube. The latter, who scored 53, was hit on the helmet in the penultimate ball of the Indian innings by a Jamie Overton delivery. Following the mandatory concussion test, Dube was cleared to play. However, he was run out on the final delivery of the innings. Dube is a pace allrounder, while Rana has so far played the role of specialist fast bowler in the Indian cricket team.

Is Short Ball Sanju Samson's Nemesis? Kevin Pietersen Says "On Occasions You Get Stuck..."

Sanju Samson is having a poor form in T20I cricket. The right-handed batter has scored only 34 runs across three innings at an average of 11.33 and a strike rate of 103.03 in India's ongoing five-match series against England. Samson started with a positive knock of 26 but scored only 5 and 3 in his next two innings, respectively. More than the runs, the matter of concern is that he was dismissed in almost similar deliveries to the same bowler -- short balls from Jofra Archer. Samson tried to pull the England pacer on all three occasions and a failed attempt saw him losing his wicket.

Hardik Pandya Blasted For India's 3rd T20I Loss vs England: "Can't Take..."

India's successful run in the ongoing T20I series against England came to a sudden halt after they faced a shocking 26-run defeat in the third match. Playing in Rajkot, the hosts restricted England to 171/9 after opting to bowl first. However, in the chase, India kept on losing wickets at regular intervals and could manage only 145/9, falling short of 26 runs. The entire batting lineup of India miserably failed to put up a good show as Hardik Pandya's 35-ball-40-run knock became their only saving grace.
