After IPL 2024, Harshit was given a chance in the Indian team. Apart from the 5-match T20 series against Zimbabwe, he was also included in the ODI and T20 series against Sri Lanka. But due to tough competition he did not get a chance in the playing-11. In such a situation, the management can give a chance to Harshit Rana due to which Mayank Yadav will have to wait longer.
All-round players are expected to get a chance
It is believed that the management will give opportunity to most of the all-rounders in the first match. Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar have been included in the team as all-rounders for this series. Nowadays, all-rounders are given preference over batsmen and bowlers in T20. From this perspective also, Mayank is finding it difficult to get a chance.
