Ahead of the much-awaited second Test match between India and England, city-based wicketkeeper-batsman Kona Srikar Bharat was felicitated by the Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) on the YSR ACA-VDCA Stadium on Thursday.
The ACA organised the felicitation programme as Bharat is more likely to play his first match on house soil. Bharat is already within the Test squad and performed the primary Test match of the continuing collection in Hyderabad.
Commissioner of Police A. Ravi Shankar took half within the programme. “It takes a lot of hard work, passion and skill to represent Team India. Constant encouragement by his parents also helped Bharat to reach this position,” he mentioned.
ACA secretary S.R. Gopinath Reddy mentioned that to this point, Bharat has performed 58 Ranji matches and scored 3,521 runs, together with six centuries and 23 half-centuries.
ACA CEO M.V. Siva Reddy, VDCA members and Bharat’s coach Krishna Rao have been current.
