Bharat didn't do anything special with the bat but it's also true for every top order batter in the team and he hardly made any mistakes behind the wickets if we neglect the few DRS calls.

So i believe they'll go with Bharat again as he's superior WK when compared to Kishan. I'd still prefer spin tracks.
Bharat is far better than Ishan Kishan behind the stumps. I also agree that his batting hasn't been up to the mark but replacing him for just that reason doesn't make any sense. Recently KL Rahul was replaced by Shubhman Gill considering his present form but the outcome is still not satisfactory. I think India should stick with the present team and not make any more changes. All they need to do is work on their batting.
On turner he's doing a wonderful job behind the wicket so it's fine for now.

Having said that i guess management will go back to the old formula of home-away (Saha-Pant) keeper again as Pant is out of the action. On the turner deck, you need a skilled keeper but when touring SENA countries you can compromise on WK skills as you look for an extra batter in form of WK batsman, here Ishan Kishan could play some part.
