NEW DELHI: Former India wicketkeeper MSK Prasad got emotional when debutant KS Bharat swiftly removed the bails to stump Marnus Labuschagne off Ravindra Jadeja’s bowling on Thursday. It took him back nearly 20 years, when he saw Bharat for the first time.
“I was still playing for Andhra then. Bharat was training for the Vizag district team at the same venue. He was just a bubbly 11-year-old. We were so impressed with him then that we asked him to train with the Andhra Ranji team. Since then, we always had an eye on him. It felt so nice to see him cleanly complete the stumping today when the pressure was really on,” Prasad told TOI.
