KS Bharat: 2 matches of the 5-match Test series have been played between India and England (IND vs ENG). England won the first match of the series by 28 runs, while in the second match, India made a strong comeback and won by 106 runs. With this the series has become equal to 1 – 1.
Now after a break of a few days, the second phase of the series will start from February 15, for which the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar will soon announce the squad. It is believed that many new faces of British players are going to get a chance. In this sequence, wicketkeeper batsman KS Bharat’s place in the team seems to be in danger.
KS Bharat will be out
Powerful wicketkeeper batsman KS Bharat was given a chance in the playing eleven in both the three opening matches against England, but he was not successful in leaving his mark. He scored 41 runs in the first innings of the first match and 28 runs in the second innings. At the same time, in the second test also, Bharat played disappointing innings of 17 and 6 runs.
In such a situation, it is now believed that young wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel can be given a chance in the playing eleven in the next three Test matches against England. Jurel has shown good performance in the domestic circuit in recent times, for which he may get rewarded.
