The India National Cricket Team and the South Africa National Cricket Team are currently in talks at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi.
Harshit Rana strikes in his first over
Delhi and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) young pacer Rana has faced a lot of criticism and trolls in his short international career, but he has time and again made sure to silence the critics with his performances.
Your daily dose of cricket!
In India’s previous white-ball series in Australia, Harshit Rana was in excellent form with the ball, and even made great contributions in the batting department.
His heroics in Australia saw him included in the playing XI in the ODI series against the Proteas. Harshit Rana was brought in by KL Rahul to bowl the second over of the second innings, and he struck twice in that over.
On the actual first ball of his first over, Rana bowled a sharp nipbacker to Ryan Rickelton, who defended along the wrong line and allowed the ball to go beyond the inside edge to hit the middle stump.
After dismissing Rickelton for a golden duck, Rana Quinton cleared de Kock for a 2-ball duck on the third ball of the over. He bowled a full delivery outside off stump to De Kock, who stepped forward to drive and only managed to slip the delivery behind the stumps to KL Rahul.

Virat Kohli blasts an epic century against South Africa
Modern batsman Virat Kohli looked in exceptional form in the first innings against the Proteas, playing an attacking brand of cricket.
Kohli showed intent from the very first ball and made life tough for South African bowlers as he built a great partnership with the legendary Rohit Sharma.
Even after Rohit’s dismissal, Kohli didn’t stop and hit his 52nd ton in ODI cricket. He played a sensational knock of 135 runs off 120 balls, with 11 fours and 7 sixes. Kohli’s sensational ton and good efforts from other batters steered India to 349/8.
Former Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif was very impressed with Virat Kohli’s innings and said the way he played his innings was a lesson for the young batting talent in the country.
“Virat Kohli shows that old is still good. A flurry of sixes to set the pace, holding on as the wickets fell and all-out aggression after reaching 100. Masterclass in ODI innings pace, lesson for youngsters who struggled towards the end.”
