The second match of the Champions Trophy 2025 is to be played between Team India and Bangladesh in Dubai. Usually, the Bangladesh team is known for its spin attack. But before entering this match on 20 February, Bangladeshi captain Nazmul Hasan Shanto expressed confidence in his pace attack to win against India. The biggest reason for this is a 22-year-old young bowler. We are talking about Nahid Rana, who is adept at bowling at a speed of more than 150 runs consistently. He can prove to be the biggest threat to the Indian team in Dubai.

Can Nahid Rana make a turnaround?

Bangladesh's team may be weaker than India. But in the form of Nahid Rana, they have a Brahmastra that can cause an upset in Dubai. The 6-foot-5-inch Rana made his debut last year but has quickly made a name for himself due to his pace. He also holds the record for bowling the fastest ball from Bangladesh. He achieved this feat by bowling at a speed of 152. During the Test series against Pakistan last year, Rana troubled its batsmen a lot with his speed.

Rana's height along with his speed can prove to be beneficial for him on the Dubai pitch. This can give him more bounce, which can make him dangerous in Dubai. However, he was not very successful on the India tour during the Test series last year. In the first innings of the Chennai Test, he took 1 wicket for 82 runs and in the second innings, he took 1 wicket for 21 runs. But he troubled the Indian batsmen. Now in Dubai too, he can become a cause of trouble for other batsmen of Team India including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Bangladeshi captain Shanto has also described Rana's bowling as important to achieve success against the Indian team.

Rana's record

Nahid Rana does not have much experience in international cricket. But he has emerged as a young pace sensation. He has taken 20 wickets in 6 Test matches so far. Rana has taken 4 wickets in 3 ODI matches. But his record in List A is very impressive. He has taken 30 wickets in 13 matches at an average of just 18.46.

Team India is looking for a solution

The Indian team is already aware of this danger. That is why it has started preparing for it. According to the report, Team India's batsmen are being made to climb on stools for throw downs. At the same time, they are being made to practice by setting the speed of more than 150 on the bowling machine. Not only this, the local bowlers have also been asked to bowl with a short run up.
