KS BHARAT (ANDHRA)

Andhra batter-keeper KS Bharat did extremely well for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL 2021, where he not only kept brilliantly but made the no.3 batting spot his own. However, he wasn’t retained by the RCB, but thanks to his batting performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, he is expected to garner interest in the IPL 2022 auction.

KS Bharat slams consecutive scores of 150 plus in ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021

He made 370 runs in 5 matches with 2 centuries to his name and was the first batter in tournament history to make back-to-back scores of 150 plus. He averaged 92.50 and had a strike rate of 108.18. He hit 39 fours and 15 sixes as well.

There are many teams who will be looking for a wicketkeeper who could bat in the top order as well and Bharat fits the bill perfectly.
