SUMMARY

Born in Visakhapatnam, Kona Srikar Bharat's journey has been nothing short of a fairytale. From a ball boy interacting with Zaheer Khan in 2004 to sharing the dressing room with the Indian pacer in the IPL, Bharat has come a long way. The talented wicket-keeper batsman holds the distinct record of being the first wicket-keeper to score a triple ton in Ranji Trophy.

Making his First-class debut at the age of 19 against Kerala, Bharat has been one of the consistent run-getters for Andhra in the last few years. He made rapid strides both as a keeper and as a batsman at the domestic level. 2014/15 was Bharat's breakthrough season where he scored 758 runs in Ranji at a healthy average of 54.14 which paved the way for him earning an IPL contract with Delhi Daredevils.

Bharat has been in the selectors' radar for sometime now and if he can translate his form into some eye-catching performances, he's surely a force to be reckoned with in the near future.
