India lost the second T20I against Australia after the first T20I was washed out due to rain. The Canberra T20 found Indian players capitalizing until rain washed out the day’s play. India suffered a humiliating collapse despite being the strongest among T20I batting sides.
India suffered due to a poor show with the bat and made a surprising change to the batting order. Harshit Rana, the Indian bowling all-rounder, was sent in ahead of Shivam Dube. Though the plan seemingly paid off as India could stabilize their innings with a partnership, former selector Kris Srikkanth doesn’t seem happy with the decisions.
“The problem is Abhishek Sharma missed out on the strike a lot because of Harshit Rana. So many times he took a single off the last ball of the over. In that partnership of 47 deliveries, Harshit Rana played 33 and only 14 for Abhishek Sharma," said Srikkanth on his YouTube channel.

In the 47-ball partnership, Harshit Rana alone faced 33 deliveries and often took singles off the final ball of the over, which affected Abhishek’s flow of runs. Had this been a specialist batter, the rotation of strike rate would have been better.
"In the end, they've made him like a nobody with this move," said Srikkanth
Srikkanth believed that Shivam Dube would be demotivated by his sudden demotion to no. 8. The 32-year-old had played a very crucial knock during the Asia Cup final against Pakistan when he put on a partnership with Tilak Varma.
He was sent in with less than five overs remaining in the innings as he walked into bat and was dismissed after just two deliveries. Dube got a thick edge of the first ball and was later dismissed for another edge in the very next ball.
