Former India cricketer WV Raman has expressed concern over fast-bowler Harshit Rana's delivery stride, warning of a potential lower-back injury if not refined. Raman's comments came after Rana was selected over Arshdeep Singh for the first ODI against New Zealand. Despite initial criticism, Rana took two crucial wickets, breaking an opening partnership and dismissing Devon Conway. Earlier, Sanjay Manjrekar had praised Rana's wicket-taking ability across all formats.
