Indian fast bowler Harshit Rana suffered an injury during the warm-up match against South Africa in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday, February 4. Rana bowled only one over before limping off the field in pain and did not return to the ground, which is bad news for the team ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026.
The BCCI has not released an official update yet, but fans are worried. If Rana's injury is serious, he could miss the tournament, forcing India to look for a replacement. The selectors have a few strong options who are currently in form and have performed well in domestic cricket and recent tours.
Rana has played nine T20Is so far, taking nine wickets at an average of 33.00 and an economy rate of 10.60. The 24-year-old played three matches for India in the five-match home T20I series against New Zealand, where he took two wickets at an average of 62.00 and a disappointing economy rate of 11.27.
