 Bharat Sundaresan, the Indian-born cricket writer and commentator, has officially become an Australian citizen. 

The citizenship ceremony took place in Mount Barker, located in the Adelaide Hills, where he resides with his wife Isha. Sundaresan, grew up in Mumbai and spent a decade in cricket journalism. He moved to Australia in December 2018, following his wife's relocation for work.
