NEW DELHI: KS Bharat’s primary job over the past one year has been to keep himself ready if India had to play him in a Test match. He realizes he is most likely to be asked to come in for the injured Rishabh Pant for the home Test series against Australia next month. But deep down, he would also know that people will compare him to the lofty standards set by Pant with the bat.
Bharat’s neat wicket-keeping skills have become his identity. His glovework is at par with Wriddhiman Saha. But he makes sure people know he is a capable batter too.
