Now, the latest reports are suggesting that Ishan Kishan can be preferred over KS Bharat in the WTC Final. Kishan is an aggressive batter who can take the Australian bowlers head on. Also, at The Oval, the ball won’t spin much and Kishan can do the require glove work without too much of a fuss.
Bharat played in the BGT and could only register a few low scores in the series.
