India narrowly beat New Zealand by one wicket in a tense ODI, with Harshit Rana’s all-round performance pivotal.

In a tense ODI against New Zealand, India won by one wicket on the final ball, with Harshit Rana playing a crucial role. Batting at No. 7 after Washington Sundar’s injury, Rana scored 29 off 23 balls, including a six, helping stabilize the innings. His aggressive knock eased pressure on KL Rahul, who guided India to victory. Rana also took two key wickets with the ball, showcasing his impact across formats. His performance drew praise from former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar, who highlighted his versatility and effectiveness in the middle overs. Sundar’s side strain may sideline him for up to four months, raising concerns about his availability. India’s bowling attack, featuring six pacers and spinners, showed depth, with Rana emerging as a key all-format performer.
