KS BHARAT

KS Bharat is perhaps one of the best wicketkeepers in India right now and has been part of the Indian side for quite some time now. He has been a lynchpin of the Andhra Pradesh batting unit with impressive numbers and showed that he could hit the big shots as well.

This came when he finally got a chance to showcase his skills for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL 2021, when he scored 191 runs in 8 matches, opening the batting with the highest score of 78*. He was very impressive with the bat and excellent behind the stumps.

Unfortunately, he found himself released from RCB before IPL 2022 in which Delhi Capitals bought him, and he only got 2 matches to play. But with Rishabh Pant being their main keeper and captain, Bharat was let go ahead of IPL 2023 auction as well.

There are franchises that require a keeper who can double up as an opener also and Bharat fits perfectly in that role as he has shown glimpses of his aggressive batting.
