17 & 6 with the bat and missed catches and stumping, KS Bharat has made things difficult for him after poor show in IND vs ENG 2nd Test. While the Andhra batter surely wasn’t looked at as a perfect batting replacement for Rishabh Pant, he was supposed to be a better wicketkeeper. However, that hasn’t been the case either. He has missed Ollie Pope’s stumping and wasn’t great behind the stumps either against R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel. To put it bluntly, fans want him out for someone like Dhruv Jurel.
KS Bharat has averaged 20.09 in Tests since making his debut against Australia a year ago. He has just two 30+ scores with his highest being only 44. With the squad selection for IND vs ENG remaining three Tests coming up, fans want him out.
