4 young wicket-keepers India should consider instead of Dinesh Karthik in upcoming away Test matches

#3 Srikar Bharat

Kona Srikar Bharat made his Ranji debut for Andhra Pradesh at the age of 19. The wicketkeeper-batsman has been a consistent performer for the Andhra team for the past few years. Ever since his first-class debut, he has shown improvement as a batsman and as a wicketkeeper.

Bharat earned an IPL contract with the Delhi Daredevils in 2015 after his breakthrough 2014/15 Ranji season in which he scored 758 runs with an average of 54.11. In February 2015, he also became the then youngest wicket-keeper batsman to score a triple century in Ranji trophy, a record which is now in the name of Rishabh Pant.

Bharat's consistent performances did not go unnoticed and he has been getting chances to play to India A on a regular basis, If he continues his good work, we might see him getting a national call-up pretty soon.
