Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra reacted to reports of KS Bharat likely to make way for Ishan Kishan in the 4th Test against Australia in Ahmedabad. He said that it will be a travesty if he gets benched for not contributing more with the bat in a team where the main batters are underperforming.
Ishan Kishan to make his debut for India in Tests – Reports
The three games of the Test series between India and Australia have been exciting. The series currently stands at 2-1 and the game has moved into the decider which will be played on 9th March in Ahmedabad.
India thumped Australia by massive margins in the first two games but the visitors came back strongly and outplayed the hosts in the third game to make the series 2-1 and qualify for the final of the World Test Championship.
The focus now shifts towards the final game of the series. It’ll be an extremely crucial game for India considering their chances for the WTC Final. They would be hoping to rectify their mistakes and come back better in the last game.

The reports related to KS Bharat likely to make way for Ishan Kishan in the 4th Test against Australia didn’t go well with Aakash Chopra, who said that it will be a travesty if he gets benched for not contributing more with the bat.
Taking to his Twitter account, he said: “KS Bharat has been nothing less than outstanding behind the stumps. Scored valuable runs in the second innings of the Delhi Test too. It will be a travesty if he gets benched for not contributing more with the bat…in a team where the main batters are underperforming.”

Notably, Bharat has done a terrific job as a keeper in the team. With the bat too, he has been decent but has failed to convert the starts he got.
