KKR pacer Harshit Rana has shared the piece of advice he received from India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah during IPL 2024. He shared that Bumrah asked him to keep evolving himself every year to stay relevant in the game, especially in the T20 league as well.

Speaking to Ranveer Allahabadia’s YouTube channel, Harshit Rana said, “In the 2024 season, he told me that my current skills won’t help you much next year. You have to keep changing things, bring out something new every season. Otherwise, be so accurate that you are able to do what you want, like he does.”

“(On Bumrah) – He has a lot of confidence and trust in his abilities. He backs his plans and forces the batter to make mistakes. I will stick to my plans regardless of the batting. His mindset is so strong that no one can break it. T20 cricket is a different thing, but in Test cricket, it’s a big thing that he has explained to me. He has skills, he practices his Yorkers, slower balls, so many skills,” he further added.

Harshit Rana also thanked Jasprit Bumrah for his advice during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy after his exploits with the ball in the 2025 Champions Trophy as well.

He said (via The Times of India): “I get a lot of benefit from working with Jassi bhai. He has a lot of experience. He always guided me on how to bowl in which format. We used to talk about Test matches in Australia and also about different formats. I got a lot of benefit from that… We often discussed Test matches in Australia and also about various other formats. One thing I have picked up from him is consistency.”
