Defending champions India are gearing up to start their Men’s T20 World Cup title defense against the USA, but concerns arise as all-rounder Harshit Rana faces a knee injury. Rana, with nine T20I caps, limped off the field during a warm-up match against South Africa after conceding 16 runs in one over.
India skipper Suryakumar Yadav expressed uncertainty about Rana’s status, mentioning that the injury situation does not look promising at the moment. While Rana’s absence would be a setback, Suryakumar assured that the team has backup plans and will adjust their strategies accordingly.
Sources have indicated that Rana is likely out of the tournament, although no official announcement has been made regarding his replacement. Suryakumar mentioned that the team is considering options from the pool of fast bowlers who can also contribute with the bat, emphasizing the flexibility in their choices.
