Gautam Gambhir and selectors worried over Rana's fitness issue
However, the bigger concern for Gautam Gambhir, the team management, and the national selectors is that the young fast bowler reportedly returned carrying extra weight. He could have reduced it during his knee rehabilitation and the Return to Play program at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
A BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity: “Harshit is a very important member of this team going into the 2027 World Cup. He is being looked at as a potential number eight batter along with his 140-click average speed. But he has to be mindful about his fitness routine.”
The source further added, “Recently, when he joined the team, he was found to be overweight. For someone who bowls fast, if that player is found to be overweight, then obviously the load on the body can lead to a hamstring tear.”
