Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 – Get to know Devdutt Padikkal, Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana

Uncapped Rana, who turns 23 next month, is another seam-bowling all-rounder in the Indian side. If Reddy’s forte is batting, Ranas is bowling. He can bowl fast, hit the deck hard and has pace variations. His IPL franchise, Kolkata Knight Riders, identified his talent before his home side, Delhi. He was the fourth-highest wicket-taker in IPL 2024 and played a key role in KKR lifting the trophy. In ten first-class matches, he has 43 wickets at 24.00 and 469 runs at 42.63. He has also scored a hundred in the format – an unbeaten 122 off just 86 balls that included nine sixes, albeit against a weak side in the North East zone.
