The first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 between the Indian and Australia is being played at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. From the Indian team, two players have got the golden opportunity to make their debut. Suryakumar Yadav and KS Bharat.
In the absence of India’s veteran wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant, KS Bharat got a golden opportunity to debut in the first Test match. And he grabbed this opportunity with both of his hands and impressed everyone.
In this first Test match, wicket-keeper batsman KS Bharat has looted applause everywhere with his amazing stumping skills. During Australia’s first innings, KS sent Marnus Labuchagne to the pavilion with his masterclass stumping.
On the fifth ball of the 36th over of the Australia team’s innings, Marnus Labuschagne came out of the crease a little to hit the ball, but Bharat took advantage of this opportunity and stood behind the stumps and showed cleverness and blew the bells immediately. Labuschagne went to the dugout on 49 runs in 123 balls with the help of 8 fours.
After seeing the skills of the KS Bharat behind the wicket, fans remembered former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni). Dhoni was extremely famous for his lighting speed, stumping, and other agility, which he did behind the wicket.
The Australian team scored 177 runs in the first innings. Ravindra Jadeja took 5 wickets in this innings, while Ashwin grabed 3 wickets. Marnus Labuschagne scored the most runs for the Australian team, and he scored 49 runs. Apart from them, Steve Smith made 37, and Alex Carey scored 36.
