IPL 2020: Rating wicketkeepers of all 8 teams
Each IPL franchise is equipped at least two or three wicket-keepers in their squad.
4. Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) – 8.5/10
Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) may well have arguably the best wicket-keeper batsman in T20 cricket at the moment. It’s hard to look past KL Rahul these days in the shortest format. He’s been simply brilliant for the Indian team in the recent past. The Karnataka lad has taken over as India’s premier gloveman as well.
Moreover, Rahul has been superb in the IPL over the last couple of seasons and has consistently got runs for KXIP at the top of the order. He’s been their most important batsman. He will also lead the side this year.
There are a couple of other decent options as well. Nicholas Pooran is a promising player and has showed what he is capable of. He can take the game away from the opposition in no time and is tidy behind the stumps. Young Prabhsimran Singh is also included in the squad and he may not get a chance with Rahul and Pooran available.
