Three wicketkeeper-batters are pushing hard for a place in the Indian setup right now.
The race for the wicketkeeping spot in the Indian side has become increasingly competitive. Several players have put in strong performances at the domestic and India A levels, giving the selectors genuine options to consider across formats.
While Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan have cemented their spots across the three formats respectively, the wide talent pool means there always exist players who could knock the door down. Three wicketkeeper-batters have stood out in recent months through their performances in various competitions. Here is a look at each of them.
3. Prabhsimran Singh
Prabhsimran Singh, the wicketkeeper-batter from Punjab, has established himself as one of the most exciting players in the IPL. He has been a threatening option at the top of the order, bringing a big-hitting game that has drawn attention from selectors.
Beyond his batting, Singh has also impressed behind the stumps with his glovework, making him a well-rounded candidate. He will be looking to use his aggressive batting style to compete for a place at the top of the order in the Indian setup, and his performances in the IPL have kept him firmly in the conversation for a national call-up. Prabhsimran has recently been part of India squads and India A sides, but has yet to make his full debut for the national side.
