Team India are in deep trouble in the final of the World Test Championship against Australia at the Kennington Oval in London as they were reduced to 158 for six after conceding 469 runs in the first innings as India’s wicket-keeper batsman KS Bharat was dismissed. . Scott Boland clean bowled India on the second ball of the day. Australia got off to a bright start as Boland bowled a superb ball on a good length which came back at the right-handed batsman. Bharath attempted to defend while only half-forward, bringing his bat down at an angle, and creating a small gap between his bat and pad. The ball cleverly takes advantage of this gap, sneaks in and crashes into the top of middle stump.
KS Bharat scored 5 runs in the first innings in the WTC final, while Rishabh Pant scored 4 runs in the first innings in the WTC final, but his sympathies, like Vikran Gupta, should be like India’s best keeper#RishabhPant #ksbharat#WTCFinal pic.twitter.com/XlntHYcu1b— The Godfather (@TH8GODFATHER) June 9, 2023

Is this Bharat’s last appearance in Test cricket? He has had many chances but has not done well. There will be a huge difference in Test cricket after the WTC final. And maybe Rishabh Pant can come in the middle. Bharat will be very disappointed. #WTCFinal #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/iTquyLlR6V— Vipin Tiwari (@vipintiwari952) June 9, 2023

Unpopular opinion: India need a solid wicket-keeper batsman
With Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan out with injuries and KS Bharath has been a complete disappointment so far!Can Saha be considered? Samson? Or someone’s groom?#WTCFinal2023 #WTCFinal #BCCI #Rahane # – Kanak Thacker (@KanakThacker) June 9, 2023
In a country of 1.4 billion people, we don’t have a suitable wicket-keeper batsman for Rishabh Pant.
Pathetic condition of BCCI, plight from KS Bharat pic.twitter.com/5VDcxfhuui— _ (@balltamperrer) June 9, 2023
KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant would have scored more runs than Dotman Pillay and KS Bharat by a leg.#WTCFinal2023 pic.twitter.com/JYY2ewe2Rb— LordGod_ (@LordGod188) June 9, 2023
Rishabh Pant has 4 hundreds in 19 Tests in Australia, South Africa, England

Dhoni was never orthodox, something like Rishabh Pant imo (not as much reverse sweeping Anderson) which helped to improve counter swing. Defense is always risky for swing. If not conservative, then cuts and pulls are better. So it was better for him. https://t.co/IHtbxncudP– Gautam Anil Kunneth__ (@kunneth_1508) June 9, 2023
Bharat replaced Rishabh Pant in the Indian Test squad as he is recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident. As soon as Bharat got out, Rishabh Pant started trending on Twitter. Before the start of the match, “Rishabh Pant is a huge loss. He is an out-and-out match-winner for India, and will be sorely missed. Having said that, I think KS Bharat will play in the final as this selection is indicative of Rahul Dravid’s mindset. I wish him well as his contribution will be important for India.
