US EditionHarshit Rana Fires Back at Critics After Powerplay Heroics Against South Africa in Ranchi: 'I Don't Care about...'
Harshit Rana earned one ICC demerit point for a send-off gesture after taking three key wickets in the first ODI against South Africa, aiding India's 17-run win.
- On December 2, 2025, the ICC reprimanded Harshit Rana and added a demerit point after his send-off of Dewald Brevis in Ranchi, following the incident in the first India v South Africa ODI.
- In the 22nd over, with Brevis attacking, Rana pointed a finger toward the dressing room and made a gesture after dismissing him, breaching Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct.
- After India posted 349 and secured a 17-run victory, Harshit Rana finished with figures of 3/65 and struck twice in one over, reducing South Africa to 11/3 early.
- The sanction is Rana's first in 2 years, and his powerplay twin-strike should keep him in India's XI for Raipur, ICC said.
- Amid scrutiny over his consistency, Rana's rise traces back to mentorship from Gautam Gambhir last year, and he credits training with Morne Morkel and guidance from teammate Arshdeep Singh, praising the ICC two-new-ball ODI rule.
