Will Prasidh Krishna replace Harshit Rana in 3rd Test?

As team India gears up for the third test against the Australian side in Brisbane on December 10. The coaching staff should make a key regarding fast bowler Harshit Rana’s inclusion. After a dull performance in the second Test at Adelaide, where Rana went wicketless and gave away 86 runs in 16 overs, Rana’s place in the starting lineup is under review. The question arises Will Prasidh Krishna replace Harshit Rana in 3rd Test?

Despite his early debut into the series and his impressive performances in the early stages, his inability to capitalize on the pressure built by his teammates has raised concerns. Management is going to consider his recent form before making a final decision on his selection.

Prasidh Krishna, ready to step into the Starting Lineup?

Harshit Rana and his underlying performance in the second test against Australian batters like Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head, had brought a sense of attention from the management about his place in the starting lineup.

His lack of consistent bowling spells allowed Australia to surpass India’s modest first-innings total of 180. Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has called for Rana’s exclusion from the third Test, vouching for Prasidh Krishna’s inclusion instead.

Krishna, who has been on the bench, impressed during India A’s unofficial Tests against Australia A. With India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel having already worked with him, Krishna could now get a chance to replace the underperforming Rana in the 3rd test.

Captain’s Backing

Captain Rohit Sharma has defended Harshit Rana, despite his low performance in the 2nd test. He focused on how dropping out players after just 2 matches isn’t fair, although the fact that Australia took advantage of the moment, Rohit’s backing of Rana highlighted the team’s philosophy of nurturing emerging talents.

The debate over whether to drop Rana has triggered discussions on player development, with some feeling it could harm his confidence, while others argue for accountable decisions. The decision will not only affect India’s game plan but also set a precedent for how young players are handled after a poor performance.
