Delhi Coach Sarandeep Singh Backs Harshit Rana Ahead Of Potential Test Debut Vs NZ
The young pacer’s journey to a potential Test debut has been closely guided by his Delhi coach and former national selector, Sarandeep Singh. Known for his mentoring skills, the coach believes a pre-Australia Test appearance would greatly benefit both India and Rana. "If India want him to play, I would love to see it. If he ends up playing a Test before going to Australia, then it is better for Harshit and for India, too, that they get a good fast bowler,” Sarandeep shared.
With experience as a selector and former Test and ODI player, Sarandeep understands what it takes to thrive at the highest level. His coaching approach is personal, tailoring motivation to each player’s unique strengths. “I know how to handle these players,” he explained. “You can’t treat everyone in the same way. I told Harshit he’s on the verge of an opportunity for India, and that he should take a fifer here. He got pumped up and delivered.”
Rana, true to his coach's words, did just that. In a Ranji Trophy match against Assam at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, he produced a stellar performance that reinforced his readiness for the international stage. He took five wickets, marking his second First-Class five-wicket haul, and scored a critical 59 runs, helping Delhi clinch a dominant 10-wicket victory and secure a bonus point.
