The first Test of the 2024-25 Border Gavaskart Trophy is turning out to be quite an enthralling one with India showing lot of character after getting bundled out for just 150. Indian pacers came out all guns blazing, and Australian batters just could not handle the constant pressure put by visitors. Harshit Rana on his debut was impressive and notched up good speeds as well. 

Rana is also known for his fiery attitude and Mitchell Starc who knows him inside-out after his stint with KKR, decided to disturb young Rana with a friendly chat. On the fifth ball of the 30th over, Harshit Rana bowled a sharp bouncer on off, angling into Starc from 'round the wikcet. Starc somehow managed to fend it away, and then was heard saying, ' Harshit, I Bowl Faster Than You, I Got Long Memory.'

Harshit Rana in reply just smiled at Starc and walked back to his mark, showing his respect for the senior bowler who helped him grow as a bowler during their KKR days in IPL 2024.

Mitchell Starc picked two wickets in the first innings and was looking in great rhythm. So, he would be pumped up and Australia need him to fire in the second innings to keep India in check after their batting order crumbled. As far as Harshit Rana is concerned, he bowled well, but gave away some runs as well. Jasprit Bumrah though was the star of the show for India as he picked his five-wicket haul to put India slightly ahead even after their disastrous first innings batting score.
