Gautam Gambhir Dinner Party: Before the second and last Test of the series against West Indies to be held from October 10, Team India players had a party at Gautam Gambhir's house. Since the second Test is in Delhi, where Gautam Gambhir's house is also located, Coach Saheb arranged dinner for the entire Team India. This dinner party of Team India took place on 8 October at the head coach's house. All the players reached Gautam Gambhir's house for dinner at 8 pm. Harshit Rana was also seen at the dinner party held at Gambhir's house.

Harshit Rana entered the dinner party separately

Many questions have been raised over the selection of Harshit Rana for the Australia tour. In such a situation, Harshit Rana's arrival at Gautam Gambhir's house for dinner despite not being a part of Team India in the series against West Indies, clearly tells the story of his closeness to the head coach of the Indian team. Harshit Rana's entry into Gambhir's house also happened in a slightly different style.

Team India arrived by bus, Harshit Rana arrived by private car

While the rest of India's players reached Gautam Gambhir's house by team bus, Harshit Rana's entry took place in a separate private vehicle. He reached Gautam Gambhir's house for dinner in his car. Harshit Rana may not be a part of Team India in the series against West Indies, but like Gambhir, his house is also in Delhi. This could be one of the reasons for Gambhir inviting him.
