Indian wicketkeeper-batter KS Bharat has announced his retirement from international cricket at age 32. Across seven Tests, the former ball boy stepped up reliably during Rishabh Pant's absence. Former chief selector MSK Prasad praised Bharat as Andhra's finest product and India's most skilled gloveman after Wriddhiman Saha, though his career remained paradoxically caught between the two keepers' distinct strengths.
