Got a lot of insights from MSD on keeping: KS Bharat ahead of WTC final

The Hindu  

India wicketkeeper KS Bharat, likely to be the first-choice glovesman for the World Test Championship final against Australia, has said he has got a “lot of insights” about keeping in England from former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni during the recently-concluded IPL. “It’s the awareness -- the best example is MS Dhoni, the awareness he has in keeping is outstanding,” Bharat added. “You need intent and passion to be a keeper, because keeping is a thankless job.” While the debate continues on who between Bharat and Ishan Kishan should be in the XI for the WTC final, the former is the frontrunner given his experience of playing four Tests. Bharat, who is in the squad as India’s first-choice wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant is recovering from a horrific car crash and his back-up KL Rahul is recuperating from a surgery on his right thigh, added that keeping brings “challenges” which have to be embraced.
