Ahead of Team India's Champions Trophy 2025 match against Bangladesh, former Australia batsman Ricky Ponting picked Arshdeep Singh over Harshit Rana. The "Men in Blue" will also look to fill in the huge void left by lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah.
Harshit Rana has done well for the side in the chances which came his way, but Ricky Ponting would still choose Arshdeep Singh as he is better suited for the 50-over format.
