The debate has been going on since Harshit Rana was allowed to be a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube during India’s fourth T20I against England at the Maharashtra Cricket Association stadium in Pune on Friday.

England will realise that they were undone more by spinners and acknowledge within the group, if not publicly, that Rana for Dube wasn’t as much of a problem.

Harshit Rana was added to the India playing XI for the fourth T20 against England as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube. However, this decision was controversial, with some claiming that Harshit was not a like-for-like replacement.

Even though Ramandeep Singh, a batting all-rounder like Dube, was on the bench, Harshit Rana was the name India proposed to Javagal Srinath, the match referee.

Michael Vaughan said that Harshit Rana should not have been brought in as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube in the fourth T20I on Friday at the MCA Stadium in Pune.

Harshit Rana in as Shivam Dube's concussion-sub sparked a controversy in the 4th T20I and now former England captains are reacting. This has sparked a controversy because Rana went onto pick up three wickets which proved to be game-changing in the game in Pune.

All-rounder Shivam Dube was hit on the helmet by a Jamie Overton delivery on the final over of the Indian innings. Dube complained of mild headache and fast-bowler Harshit Rana replaced him as a concussion substitute.
