KS Bharat has been on the fringes of the Indian senior team for a while now. His wicket-keeping has been highly rated. He has a triple hundred to his name in the Ranji Trophy but it wasn’t until his performances in IPL 2021 that he shot into the limelight.

The world got to see a glimpse of his wicket-keeping talent when he took a couple of impressive catches and a stumping as a substitute for Wriddhiman Saha on Day 3 of the Kanpur Test against New Zealand a month later.
He was in brilliant form in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and his last two innings scores read – 161 not out and 156. In the tournament, he was Andhra Pradesh’s highest run-getter with 370 runs from 5 innings at 92.50.

A brilliant glare on the disappointing Punjab Kings campaign, Brar was impressive in the IPL 2021 season. After losing four of the first six games, PBKS made changes and that is where Brar got his chance.. He scored 17 runs in 25 balls from his first game of the season against RCB and went on to make a special night by sending Kohli, Maxwell, and De Villiers to win the PBKS and win the Man of the Match award.
He also had a good home season, finishing with Punjab’s best economic level, faring just over 3.95. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he had the second-best economic rating with Punjab at 5.35.
