Harshit Rana: From Ghevra to Global Stardom
Harshit Rana’s journey began in the trials of KKR, where he was roped in as an injury replacement for Rasikh Salam in 2022. Under the mentorship of Bharat Arun and the KKR coaching staff, Rana quickly evolved from a raw prospect into a tactical master of the death overs. His breakout 2024 season, where he took 19 wickets, was instrumental in KKR’s third title victory. Known for his fiery celebrations and deceptive slower balls, Rana’s transition to international cricket was seamless, culminating in a historic maiden Test cap at Perth during the 2024 Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
