Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021-22: Best XI of the tournament
Himachal Pradesh defeated Tamil Nadu in the final by 11 runs.
3. KS Bharat (wicketkeeper) (Andhra)
KS Bharat played a brilliant cameo for the Indian team during the first Test against New Zealand. He was asked to keep the wickets in the absence of Wriddhiman Saha. Bharat showed why he is regarded as one of the safest pair of hands behind the stumps in the domestic circuit.
He was dropped from the team for South Africa tour and it came as a blessing in disguise for the 28-year-old wicketkeeper. Bharat went on to score 370 runs in five matches for Andhra Pradesh at an average of 92.50 and a strike rate of 108.18, which included two centuries. He was the leading run-scorer of his team.
He completed a total of 13 dismissals including two stumpings in the tournament, which was again the most by any wicketkeeper. Bharat was a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team during the last edition and he hit the last ball six against the Delhi Capitals to grant a victory to Virat Kohli’s led side while also faring well at number three for the team.
