5 Out of 5! Harshit Rana Creates Unique Record Against Devon Conway

India’s star pacer Harshit Rana has become a nightmare for New Zealand opener Devon Conway. The two teams are clashing against each other in the third T20I of the five-match series in Guwahati. The contest is a do-or-die for the Kiwis as the Men in Blue are already leading the series 2-0, and a win today would seal the series for them.

India captain Suryakumar Yadav put New Zealand to bat first after winning the toss, and the decision worked well for them as Conway departed in the third ball of the first over. The left-handed opener tried to make use of the powerplay restrictions but could not clear Hardik Pandya at mid-off.

Harshit Rana Dismisses Devon Conway for Fifth Time

During the opening over of the IND vs NZ 3rd T20I, Harshit Rana removed Conway off the third ball for just one run. With this wicket, he has now dismissed the left-handed batter for the fifth time in the ongoing tour, including the ODI series.

Rana bowling around the wicket to Devon Conway and picking up his wicket has been a regular sight of this series. The NZ batter, who is among the best openers in the world, is yet to find any answers for Rana, who has constantly troubled with both the new and the old ball.

The Harshit Rana vs Devon Conway battle would definitely be the highlight of this tour and a contest to watch out for in the future as well. However, the Indian fast bowler has had the upper hand over his Kiwi opponent.

Harshit Rana vs Devon Conway in NZ tour of India

Before the Harshit Rana Devon Conway wicket in the third T20I, both players shared a heartwarming moment together as they were seen hugging each other. Moments later, Harshit Rana got his wicket for the fifth time in the tour and even gestured ‘five’ towards the crowd and the dressing room. Here's how Conway has been Rana's bunny this series:

Conway's early dismissal put the Blackcaps under huge pressure to put a big total in front of the mighty-looking Indian batting lineup. NZ skipper Mitchell Santner said recently that we may put up a 300-run target to win against this Indian side, which has some of the most dangerous batsmen in the world.

The Men in Blue have been highly dominant so far with two fantastic performances. They will be aiming to seal the series here with two more matches to go. Harshit Rana's performances with both bat and ball has been a major plus point on this tour.
