In the highly anticipated opening Test of the four-match Border Gavaskar series in Nagpur, Kona Srikar Bharat made his Test debut for India after being chosen ahead of Ishan Kishan. Cheteshwar Pujara, the veteran batsman, presented the 29-year-old with his Test cap during the Indian team’s well before the toss on Thursday, February 9 at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur.
It was an emotional moment for KS Bharat as he had waited a long time for this moment. It was unfortunate that Rishabh Pant met with an accident last year and it opened a way for Bharat for the longest format of the game. Not only Bharat but the no.1 ranked T20I batter Suryakumar Yadav is also making his test debut. He has been chosen ahead of star Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav and it will be interesting to see his approach in Test Cricket.
The wicketkeeper-batsman enjoyed a sweet moment with his mother, who was there at the Nagpur venue when he received his Test cap. Bharat hugged his mother, who was also awestruck at seeing her son fulfilling a long-held desire.
Before the toss in Nagpur, Bharat was seen hugging his mother, and this beautiful mother-son bond is breaking the internet.
