Cricket fans from Visakhapatnam and members of the Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) are elated as city lad and wicket keeper-cum-batsman Kona Srikar Bharat has made it to the India playing XI in the World Test Championship (WTC) final being held in England.
It’s a feather in Bharat’s cap as he became the first player not only from Visakhapatnam but also from Andhra Pradesh to play a World Cup Final.
June 7 (Wednesday) was a very good day for Bharat till lunch. With the pitch favouring the bowlers, Bharat was busy taking catches, coming down and standing up to the stumps, suggesting his opinion for the Decision Review System (DRS) to the skipper and bowlers.
