India were tasked to chase a huge target in the final innings. Sai Sudharsan gave India A a good start. But it was KS Bharat down the order who has paved the way for the hosts to take control of the game. With 13 fours and he hammered his ton from just 138 balls.
After a mere 15 run knock in the first knock, questions were raised about his chance to play in IND vs ENG Test series. But now, after his majestic ton, he will be a sure shot starter in the first 2 Test matches against England.
It was essentially a do-or-die scenario for KS Bharat. The 30-year-old Andhra batter is on the limelight for various reasons. The BCCI management has made it clear that KL Rahul will be used a specialist batter. As a result, it is KS Bharat who will keep behind the stumps.
Should KS Bharat fail, then the management will check on youngster Dhruv Jurel who got his maiden call up.
