With Rishabh Pant still recuperating from the injuries he suffered in a car crash last December, the role of the wicketkeeper in India's eleven for the upcoming World Test Championship final against Australia is one of the talking points ahead of the big game in London.
Former India chief coach Ravi Shastri feels KS Bharat would be the "obvious choice" of the team management. Pant's back-up KL Rahul is also in rehab mode following the surgery on his right thigh.
