Why Team India should look beyond KS Bharat in Tests against England

If your batting lets you down, you have to be exceptional with the gloves to hold your place in the side and Bharat has not provided that.

Vizag: Ever since his scores of 17 and six in the second Test in Vizag, there have been speculations that he could be dropped. Despite India's victory over England by 106 runs, it was not the most convincing of victories for the team. And many factors have played a role in this: first the absence of regular players and then Bharat's form. So why should Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid look beyond Bharat?

Glove work, not the best: If your batting lets you down, you have to be exceptional with the gloves to hold your place in the side and Bharat has not provided that. If you are a wicketkeeper, you also cannot be in the Indian side solely on the basis of your wicketkeeping. He missed a crucial stump in the second Test against England. His non-release with the bat should make the side look beyond him.
