KS Bharat Has Kept Brilliantly, But Sticky One To Decide Between Him And Dhruv Jurel, Says Parthiv Patel
South Africa Test: In the run-up to the third Test between India and England, starting at Rajkot on Thursday, who between KS Bharat and Dhruv Jurel becomes the wicketkeeper for the hosts’ has emerged as a very puzzling question.
Though Bharat has been a fine keeper in the two matches so far, his batting numbers – 92 runs in four innings, don’t make for a good look. Moreover, in his seven-match Test career, Bharat is yet to score a half-century.
Parthiv Patel, the former India wicketkeeper-batter, believes Bharat has been a brilliant presence behind the stumps, but admitted that deciding between him and uncapped youngster Dhruv Jurel for the Rajkot Test is a sticky situation. With Jurel participating in keeping drills alongside the slip fielders in India’s practice session on Tuesday, one can’t rule out the possibility of him making his Test debut at Rajkot.
