Harshit Rana makes T20I debut as concussion substitute against England in Pune

Indian pacer Harshit Rana made his T20I debut against England in the fourth match of the series in Pune, stepping in as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube. Dube suffered a blow to the head in the final over of India's innings, prompting the team to bring in Rana under the concussion substitute rule. Rana's debut as a concussion substitute places him in a rare group of cricketers who have made their international debut in this unusual manner. Earlier, Dube's aggressive batting guided India to a competitive total of 181 for 9 after the top order struggled to cope with the short-pitched deliveries from England's pacers in the fourth T20 International on Friday.
