IND vs ENG: Parthiv Patel explains why Harshit Rana is more effective with old ball

Former wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel said that Harshit Rana is more effective with the old ball than bowling with the new ball. ‘Replacing Bumrah won’t be easy’ In the first ODI in Nagpur where he made his debut, Rana was taken for 26 runs in one of his overs by Phil Salt. Parthiv said that if Rana goes for runs early in his spell, it’s Hardik Pandya, who generally chips in with handy overs. His first spell had no wickets with an economy of 10.4, but his ability to make a comeback and bowl effectively with the older ball is evident—six wickets at an economy of 5.2,” Parthiv said.
