The only debatable pick in the probable India XI will be the wicketkeeper spot since the two young keepers KS Bharat and Ishan Kishan are fighting for this spot. The fact that Ishan Kishan wasn’t part of the squad earlier and was picked after KL Rahul’s injury, is proof that the Indian team management is going to back KS Bharat in the final.
The selection committee had little option but to continue using KS Bharat behind the stumps because Rishabh Pant was still injured. Bharat struggled with the bat against Australia, despite having a respectable performance behind the stumps. In the last Test at Ahmedabad, he achieved his highest score of 44.
