The Border Gavaskar Trophy is to be played between India and Australia. Even before the start of the series, Team India’s captain Rohit Sharma is in a dilemma as to whom he should keep in the playing XI between KS Bharat and Ishaan Kishan. Let us tell you that KS Bharat has not yet made his debut for Team India. Although he has entered the field for wicketkeeping when wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was injured during a match.
Bharat had performed brilliantly in the IPL for RCB. But, in the year 2022, he got the chance to play only 2 matches from Delhi Capitals. He has also proved himself many times in practice matches. That’s why it is getting a bit difficult for Captain Rohit to take a decision.
Ishaan has experience of international cricket
Indian team’s T20 and ODI opening wicket-keeper batsman Ishan Kishan strengthened his claim by scoring a double century in the third ODI against Bangladesh. Let us tell you that he became the first batsman to score the fastest double century in international cricket. He joined the squad after playing an explosive innings of 208 runs.
But his performance in ODIs and T20s against New Zealand and Sri Lanka was not good. After which captain Rohit is finding it difficult to decide whether to include Ishaan in team11 or not.
