Rana further said that he had learnt a lot from India bowling coach Morne Morkel. He revealed that the South African had worked with him on his line and length. When asked about the upcoming high-octane IND vs PAK clash, Harshit said that he was going to take it as a normal game. He added that every match was a pressure one when it came to playing for the country.

Harshit finished with figures of 3/31 from 7.4 overs, aptly supporting Shami who bagged a five-wicket haul. India clinched a dominating 6-wicket win against Bangladesh to start off their Champions Trophy campaign on a winning note.
