Ajay Ratra Backs KS Bharat To Be India’s Preferred Wicketkeeper For England Tests
South Africa Test: As India prepares for the opening Test against England in Hyderabad on January 25, there are various decisions to be made, including who will occupy the wicketkeeping slot in the playing eleven.
For the first two Tests against England, India has picked three wicketkeeper-batters - KL Rahul, KS Bharat and the uncapped Dhruv Jurel. The team thrust Rahul into the unfamiliar role of being designated wicketkeeper for India's tour of South Africa, as conditions weren't much in favour of spinners.
Now that India is back home, there is a consideration of using a specialist keeper who can handle turning pitches and uneven bounce against Ashwin, Jadeja, Patel, and Yadav. This theory brings Bharat and Dhruv more into the mix.
