"Bring back Ishan Kishan" - Twitter slams KS Bharat as his torrid run in Tests continues

Fans on Twitter reacted after India keeper-batter KS Bharat bagged another failure in Test cricket in the ongoing second innings of the second Test against England. The match between the teams is taking place at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.

KS Bharat isn’t living up to the expectations as he has bagged a series of low scores in Test cricket. The batter was dropped from the team. However, Ishan Kishan not being there in the team made BCCI call him back into the team for two Tests against England. 

KS Bharat played decent knocks in the first Test but couldn’t cash on the start he got. But with him making a comeback into the team, something special was expected of him. With the ongoing second game taking place at his home ground, it was expected that he would play a huge role in the game. 

But it hasn’t been the case as he failed in both the innings. KS Bharat scored 17 runs in the first innings and then bagged another failure in the second innings. He couldn’t get going at all and ended up giving his wicket to spinner Rehan Ahmed. 

Rehan Ahmed bowled a short ball on off and kicked up a touch that made the ball to hit high on the bat. Bharat couldn’t dispatch the ball as he ended up looping the ball that was caught by skipper Ben Stokes with ease. 

KS Bharat managed just 6 runs off 28 balls in the second innings. His wicket left the team tottering at 228/7. With young batter Dhruv Jurel also in the team, it won’t be a surprise if the keeper-batter gets dropped for the third match between the teams in Rajkot, starting 15th February. 

Fans on Twitter react as KS Bharat bags another failure in Test cricket 

As KS Bharat slammed just 6 runs in the second innings of the ongoing game against England, fans on Twitter reacted to it. They lashed out at the batter for his torrid run in the longest format of the game. Netizens also raised calls to include Ishan Kishan in the team for the next game. Here are some of the reactions: 

Hope Ishan Kishan will be picked for the next 3 test matches.

Though KS Bharat has done a great job behind the stumps, but he doesn't show the promise with the bat

Ishan Kishan in the WI did a better job, An attacking left hand batter in the top 6-7 is a great plus

Hope Ishan gets picked for the remaining 3 tests#IndianCricketTeam pic.twitter.com/16ak9ypj52

Rahul Dravid ruined Ishan Kishan's chance to Play at Home when he did well on WI Test which was his debut series

Should Ishan Kishan replace him in the next test? pic.twitter.com/lI3M0HkhB7

I hope if Ishan Kishan is available for selection he is picked for the next 3 tests.

Which genius in the BCCI has seen tremendous talent in KS Bharat to play for the team in Tests? Especially when a better option in Ishan Kishan is available?

Dravid is doing a Greg Chappel with Team India. @BCCI

Ks bharat: Can't bat, can't keep!
Missed Ollie Pope's simple stumping at 0🤦
Ishan kishan was miles better as a keeper and test batsman… He was "asked" by the management to Fuck off …. If Bharath can't even keep properly, why is he in the team?#INDvENG pic.twitter.com/vHL5hS9cNX

Bharat is not made for international cricket, it’s time to play Dhruv jurel or Ishan Kishan pic.twitter.com/FhFWTxSvzC
