Giving Kishan a chance, the veteran wrinkled his nose, saying, “Now the Indian team is ahead…”

The first Test match between West Indies and India started on July 12 at the Windsor Park ground in Dominica. 2 new players got a chance to debut in the Indian team for this match. These include Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ishaan Kishan. Earlier, former India opener Akash Chopra expressed some displeasure over Ishan, who has played 14 ODIs and 27 T20Is for India, getting a chance.

The talk of KS Bharat or Ishaan had started before this match. It was predicted that the Indian team would give Bharat another chance. However, the Indian team management gave Ishan his debut. So Bharat, who played only five Tests for India, had to sit on the bench. Speaking on the same issue, Chopra said,

“I thought I would get a chance in Bharat. However, by debuting Ishaan, the Indian team management has given a message for the future. Bharat has played four matches for India. Everyone is struggling to score runs in India. Bharat didn’t get too many runs from the bat either as he kept a good wicket in the World Test Championship final. However, now that Ishaan is in the team, we will have to see when he gets his next opportunity.”

After performing well in domestic cricket, Bharat got an opportunity to play in the Test series against Australia this year. Also seen playing in the final of the World Test Championship. However, he failed to make an impact with the bat. So Ishankishan has been given a chance as an alternative. India’s first-choice wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant may be sidelined for at least another six months due to an injury.
