She made her Women's One Day International and Women's Twenty20 International debuts against Sri Lanka in 2014.[5]

After a knee injury in 2016, she was sidelined from the national team, and would not play international cricket for another five years.[6] During this period, she played domestic cricket, and also played for India B.

In May 2021, she was named in India's Test squad for their one-off match against the England women's cricket team.[7] Rana made her Test debut against England on 16 June 2021.[8][9]

In January 2022, she was named in India's team for the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand.[10] In July 2022, she was named in India's team for the cricket tournament at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.[11]

During the one-off Test against South Africa Women at Chepauk in 2024, Rana took maiden five-wicket haul and became the second woman spinner and first from India to take a ten-wicket haul in Test cricket.[12][13][14][15]

Rana took her first five-wicket haul in ODIs against South Africa during the Tri-Series on 29 April 2025.[16]
