Rookie Indian fast bowler Harshit Rana had the skills but lacked self-assurance until Gautam Gambhir stepped in and encouraged him to confront his apprehensions. At just 22 years old, Rana is thrilled to have been selected for the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka next month.
"I believed in working hard but whenever I used to get hurt after being overlooked in age-group teams, I would sit in my room and start sobbing. My father (Pradeep) never ever gave up hope," Rana said while talking to PTI, after learning about his maiden India call-up.
