Overview
- Rana told MensXP he spent nearly ten years facing trial rejections and would return home and cry in front of his father before learning to handle failure.
- He recounted Rohit Sharma insisting on a slip for a new batter in the Sydney ODI, with a wicket falling the very next ball, a clip that has since gone viral.
- That match featured Rana’s breakout 4 for 39, triggering Australia’s collapse from 183 for 3 to 236 all out and easing criticism of his selection.
- Now a regular in India’s white-ball sides with 23 wickets in 13 ODIs, he is playing the home series against New Zealand and has been named for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
- Rana also shared a light moment about first meeting Anushka Sharma and Kohli’s playful ‘bhabhi’ quip, and said bowling to Kohli and Rohit in the nets pushes him to elevate his game.
