Harshit Rana, who did wonders in Perth with his speed, bounce and attitude, has won everyone's hearts. This fast bowler had given a historic victory to Team India by taking 4 wickets in Perth. Now the next match is to be held in Adelaide but some veterans believe that Akashdeep will be better than Harshit Rana on this ground. This has been said by none other than former cricketer Ravi Shastri. Ravi Shastri believes that Akashdeep Singh can be a better option than Adelaide's pitch and pink ball and he has also given the reason for this.

Is Akashdeep better than Harshit Rana with the pink ball?

Ravi Shastri wrote in ICC's review before the Pink Ball Test, 'You should only remember that this is a Pink Ball Test. I know Harshit Rana has performed well in the last Test but the pink ball has extra shine, it is a little harder and the ball seams and swings. This is where I feel Akashdeep should be in the playing eleven. If Ravi Shastri has said this then there is some truth in it because this legend knows how the ball behaves on the Australian pitch. Team India has won two Test series in Australia and both times the head coach of the team was Ravi Shastri.

Harshit Rana showed his strength with the pink ball

Ravi Shastri might be underestimating Harshit Rana with the pink ball, but this fast bowler had bowled excellently with the pink ball against the Prime Minister's XI. Harshit Rana had taken five wickets in that match. Harshit Rana had given a lot of trouble to the middle order batsmen.

What is the specialty of Akashdeep?

Well, if we talk about Akashdeep, he can give trouble to the Australian batsmen with the pink ball. This player has taken 10 wickets in 5 tests so far but he has played all these matches in India. Well, if we talk about domestic cricket, this player has taken 123 wickets at an average of only 22.98. Now it remains to be seen what decision Team India takes on Harshit Rana after seeing the pink ball.
