Aakash Chopra stated that Harshit Rana's performance in the recent edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) was "extremely ordinary" and that there were better pacers than him available for selection.
His stocks in the Indian cricket team have risen since the head coach Gautam Gambhir came to the helm, and the pacer has been consistently around the squads even if he doesn't play the matches.
He has been selected for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 and is among the three specialist pacers in the squad alongside Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh.
Fans were left furious after the squad announcement and expressed their anger on social media, accusing Gautam Gambhir of being biased.
It doesn't seem like his numbers are strong enough to deserve a place in the side - Aakash Chopra
"Harshit Rana's case is very interesting. His case needs to be discussed because he came as a concussion replacement for Shivam Dube once, picked up three wickets as well, and became the Player of the Match, which was brilliant, but what about before and after that?"
Notably, Rana picked up 15 wickets in IPL 2025 at an economy of 10.18.
Prasidh Krishna should have got a chance - Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra further opined that the third specialist pacer in the India squad will mostly remain on the bench with Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh being the starting XI, but added that the likes of Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj were better picks than Harshit Rana. He elaborated:
"However, if you see the recent record, you will find that Prasidh Krishna should have got a chance, or you could have thought about rewarding Mohammed Siraj, but the team has once again gone towards Harshit."
