Harshit Rana vs Mohammed Siraj - comparing their stats after 8 ODIs

Young Team India fast bowler Harshit Rana impressed with a four-wicket haul in the third ODI against Australia in Sydney on Saturday, October 25. After the Aussies decided to bat first in the game, the right-arm pacer registered figures of 4-39 from 8.4 overs as the hosts were bowled out for 236 in 46.4 overs. The youngster had earlier claimed 2-59 from eight overs in Adelaide.

There were plenty of question marks over Harshit's inclusion in the Indian team for the ongoing white-ball tour of Australia. While he failed to make much of an impact with the ball in the first two ODIs, the 23-year-old came up with an impactful spell in Sydney, getting the scalps of Alex Carey (24), Mitchell Owen (1), Cooper Connolly (23) and Josh Hazlewood (0).

Harshit has featured in eight one-day games so far. Following his impressive spell against Australia in Sydney, we compare his stats with that of Mohammed Siraj after the latter had also played eight ODIs.
