India wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan is reported to make his Test debut in the fourth Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023. He is part of the squad as regular keeper Rishabh Pant continues to recover from the injuries he sustained after a car crash. On the other hand, KS Bharat, who was been donning the gloves, hasn't produced the desired output with the bat.
However, his keeping has been up to the mark. Talking about the series, Australia has kept the series alive for them although they can't win it. Apparently, they won the third Test in Indore in three days. The home team is leading the series by 2-1. They need to win the last game to qualify for the Global Test Championship's final 2021-23.
Now, it is reported by The Indian Express that there might be some changes. Mohammed Siraj, who was rested in the Indore Test, might make it back with the Ahmedabad pitch curators preparing two pitches for the last Test. One of those wickets has enough grass to support pace bowling. On the other hand, Kishan might make it in place of Bharat although this is a matter of debate.
Meanwhile, the fans aren't happy with his reported inclusion. They feel that Bharat can be given another game given his near perfect wicketkeeping.

Bad. Bharat did good job in keeping and he didn't make use of batting. Bad for himπ. Players like him get chances rarely and if they didn't use of opportunity, π

Atleast bharat is a great keeper π

Bharat as batter is too bad but bharat as keeper is good. India need to figure out they need a good keeper who might contribute with bat. Or a explosive batter who can keep. Tricky question to answer.

Indian Express argues for the inclusion of Mohammed Shami and Ishan Kishan in Indiaβs playing XI in the Ahmedabad Test.
Read the article @CricCrazyJohns !! It's an opinion piece by Indian Express! You have interpreted it wrongly!

Whyy mannn ???? Its not that only Bharat has underperformed and others have all scored heavy, why make him sit then after just 3 matches........he deserves a long run. No disrespect to Kishan but he's gonna make a mess in keeping which Bharat has done well.
