Earlier in his career, Rana made his Test debut against Australia in Perth in November of the previous year and his T20I debut against England in Pune the month before. During his T20I debut, he came in as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube. He took 3 wickets for 33 runs. Although the substitution drew criticism, Rana proved effective, contributing to India's win.
