KS Bharat’s poor glove work allows Australia to stitch their highest opening partnership of the series
India and Australia are currently locking horns in the last game of the Border-Gavaskar series 2023 in Ahmedabad. With the series being stranded at 2-1, the visitors won the toss and decided to bat first, in what has been a good batting surface.
Indian bowlers bowled some tight lines and lengths upfront but Australia openers Travis Head and Usman Khawaja showed great patience after watching out few deliveries, they unleashed themselves and scored runs with good pace.
However, it’s fair to say that they got the help of Indian keeper batter KS Bharat as well, who didn’t look settled with the gloves and gave away easy byes and also dropped a sitter of Head, who was going great guns.
Australian opener grabbed the missed opportunity and batted staggering well to stitch their highest partnership of the series. They scored 61 runs for the first wicket before Head was removed by Ashwin for 32 runs.

As KS Bharat’s poor glove work allows Australia to stitch their highest opening partnership of the series, fans on Twitter reacted to it. They lashed out at the keeper batter for his poor keeping and credited him for the big-opening partnership. Here are some of the reactions:
KS bharat drop here. You can see he takes a step to the legside. (Second photo) So already he is unbalanced, and then he doesn't quiet get to the ball, he reaches out (last photo) very tough to take a opposite step then come back in. Technical error #INDvsAUSTest #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/7pwSdIPUKu

WTF KS Bharat. This is absolutely shocking piece of keeping

Anyone can drop catches, but KS Bharat is not as good a keeper as Wriddhiman Saha.
Since he hasn't come with the reputation of a flamboyant batsman, people have automatically thought he must be a world class keeper. (And exact opposite for Ishan)

Why KS BHARAT Is preferred over Ishan Kishan. Pehle Pant Middle Order Me Aakar Stability Dete Thee Kyunki Wo Left Handed The aur kishan ki bhi technique whi hai. To kya keeping difference ke krn kishan nhi hain kynki KS up to mark bat nhi kar rhe hain. #askstarAdvertisement— Lover (@lover_457) March 9, 2023
