Harshit Rana made his T20I debut in the fourth game against the Three Lions at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune and impressed head coach Gautam Gambhir.
Rana was originally not named in India's playing XI for the match as the Men In Blue once again opted to go with one specialist pacer. Arshdeep Singh came in as a replacement for Mohammed Shami, who was left out of playing XI after one game.
Jamie Overton bowled a nasty bouncer on the 5th ball of the over and Dube was hit on the helmet while playing a pull shot. Meanwhile, Harshit Rana became the first Indian to make his debut as a concussion substitute.
