I am looking forward to it."On the ongoing season of IPL, Harnoor said that Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans are two sides which have impressed him.

How you can switch according to a situation. Staying mature and in present is helpful and important."He has featured in two first-class and five T20 games for Chandigarh"Before Ranji, I talked to Sandeep Sharma and our skipper Manan Vohra. They help us, share their experiences," added the batter.Talking about his future goals, Harnoor said, "I have no long-term goals. I learnt a lot last season. I want to do well in the upcoming season, especially in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (India's domestic T20 competition). It will help me more in going to the IPL, where I will get a lot of exposure and experience. I want to make my opportunities count in Ranji Trophy as well."In six matches of the U19 WC, he scored 141 runs at an average of 23.50 and best score of 88.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
