Emirates EaglesWicketkeeper batter
Kona Srikar Bharat is a wicket-keeper batsman who comes from Visakhapatnam and plays his domestic cricket for Andhra. He has a notable place in the history of the Ranji Trophy as the first wicket-keeper to make a triple century in the competition.
Bharat played his first First-class match at 19, facing Kerala. In the years since, he has developed as both a gloveman and a batsman and has scored runs steadily for Andhra. His breakthrough came in the 2014/15 Ranji Trophy season, when he made 758 runs at an average of 54.14. That season's output helped him secure an IPL deal with Delhi Daredevils.
Bharat has an unusual link with Zaheer Khan. In 2004, as a ball boy, he had a chance to interact with the India fast bowler, and he later shared an IPL dressing room with him. He has also been noticed by the national selectors for some time.
