The humorous moment, which highlighted the spirit of cricket, occurred during Day 2 and quickly became a talking point on social media.</p><p><strong>Rana&rsquo;s fiery spell sparks Starc&rsquo;s playful jibe</strong></p><p>The moment unfolded during the 30th over of Australia&rsquo;s innings when Harshit Rana, bowling with pace and aggression, delivered a fiery barrage of short-pitched deliveries to Mitchell Starc. The Australian pacer was forced to duck and weave as Rana&rsquo;s deliveries extracted sharp bounce off the lively Perth wicket.</p><p>As Rana walked back to his mark, Starc, caught on the stump mic, playfully quipped, &ldquo;Harshit, I bowl faster than you. I&rsquo;ve got a long memory.&rdquo; The cheeky comment, delivered with a grin, hinted at possible retribution when Rana would come out to bat. Rana, unfazed, responded with a smile, demonstrating maturity and composure in only his first Test match.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Mitch Starc offers a little warning to Harshit Rana 😆<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AUSvIND?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AUSvIND</a> <a href="https://t.co/KoFFsdNbV2">pic.twitter.com/KoFFsdNbV2</a></p>&mdash; cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) <a href="https://twitter.com/cricketcomau/status/1860153372848128214?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 23, 2024</a></blockquote><p><strong>See Also: <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/faf-du-plessis-powers-samp-army-and-brings-win-in-abu-dhabi-t10/">Watch: Faf du Plessis powers Samp Army and brings win in Abu Dhabi T10</a></strong></p><p><strong>Camaraderie and competition shine through</strong></p><p>The banter between Starc and Rana drew attention not only for its humor but also for the camaraderie between the two players, who recently shared a successful stint as teammates at <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/ipl-2025-to-start-on-march-14-dates-revealed-for-next-three-seasons/">Kolkata Knight Riders</a> (KKR). Despite Starc&rsquo;s playful remarks, Rana showcased his potential, taking two key wickets, including Travis Head on Day 1 and Nathan Lyon on Day 2, while consistently hitting speeds over 140 km/h.</p><p>Meanwhile, India&rsquo;s pace trio, led by Jasprit Bumrah, dominated Australia&rsquo;s batting lineup. Bumrah&rsquo;s clinical performance saw him claim a five-wicket haul, his 11th in Test cricket, as he removed Alex Carey with the first delivery of the day. Supported by Mohammed Siraj and Rana, India&rsquo;s bowlers dismantled the Australian batting order, securing a significant first-innings lead by the end of the session.</p><p>The light-hearted exchange between Starc and Rana, coupled with the fierce competition on the field, exemplified the spirit of cricket&mdash;where intense rivalries are often interspersed with moments of mutual respect and camaraderie.</p>]]></content:encoded>
