Rana' wife Saachi Marwah took to Twitter to show her displeasure at seeing her husband not find a place in the national squad. Rana has delivered good show in Indian Premier League and domestic cricket. Saachi wrote: "You either get bitter, or you get better. It’s that simple. You either take what has been dealt to you and allow it to make you a better person, or you allow it to tear you down. The choice belongs to you." Marwah did not stop there. She also shared a lesson from Mahabharata. She wrote: "Endurance and Perseverance: Lord Krishna encourages individuals to face challenges with strength and resilience. He reminds Arjuna that difficulties and tests are an inevitable part of life, and one must endure them with a steadfast mind."
