It doesn't really matter whether you take Virat Kohli's wicket or a tailender's wicket, because at the end of the day, a bowler getting a wicket fetches the same points irrespective of the batsman in question. Hence, it is advisable to opt for death overes specialists who can chip in with a few wickets at the back-end of the innings.

A wicketkeeper batting in the top four is like gold. Not only can he contribute via his wicketkeeping skills, but as a top order batsman, his batting would give you an extra edge over your competitors.

This is why wicketkeeper-batsmen like Robin Uthappa, Ishan Kishan, Quinton de Kock etc. are so valuable.
