[ad_1] MUMBAI: Will 'keeper-bat Dhruv Jurel make his Test debut in the third Test against England at Rajkot in place of the struggling KS Bharat? Well, that could very well be the case when action resumes in the series, currently tied at 1-1, from February15. As per well-placed sources in the BCCI that TOI spoke to, the key decision-makers in Indian cricket may have run out of patience with wicketkeeper Bharat, who hasn't done anything significant in the seven Tests that he has played so far in."Bharat's batting has been well below-par, while his 'keeping hasn't been great either. He isn't making use of his chances. Jurel, on the other hand, is talented, has a good attitude and has a bright future. He has done well for Uttar Pradesh, India A and the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. Don't be ...

We play Test matches over five days and in five days the possibility of a result is almost guaranteed. Every game should be result-oriented. In four-day games, on flat decks, you don't really get results. We tried to get as many results as possible but it becomes challenging. In five-day cricket, that will happen more frequently. I don't know how it can be fit into the calendar, but five-day cricket will help domestic cricketers to get used to the rigours of First-Class cricket.""If you play...

Always considered myself as 100 percent keeper, who can open batting if need be, says KS Bharat | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: In line to make his Test debut against Australia next month, wicketkeeper batter KS Bharat is ready to fill in the shoes of the injured Rishabh Pant and be a marauder like him too if the situation demands.Pant has been a proven match-winner in Tests, who has changed the complexion of games from a hopeless situation. Most recently, his counter attacking efforts served India well in Bangladesh.India will surely miss the x-factor of Pant in the four Tests against Australia but the southpaw suffering an unfortunate accident last month has thrown an opportunity for Bharat, who has had to sit on the sidelines since being part of the national set-up.The modern game demands the keeper to be an able batter and Bharat backs himself to excel in both the departments."I have always ...
