IPL 2017: The men behind the stumps

#4 Wriddhiman Saha, Kings XI Punjab

Wriddhiman Saha has pulled off some tremendous catches behind the stumps

Saha became a part of the Kings XI Punjab squad in 2014, after which he has been a regular part of the team’s playing eleven. He has been the Indian national team’s wicket-keeper in recent Test series ever since MS Dhoni withdrew from the format.

Possessing breathtaking reflexes, he pulled off some blinding catches against the Australians in the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He is competent with the bat as well and has three Test centuries to his name.

In the T20 format, his batting is not as prolific as some of the other wicketkeeper-batsmen on this list. His 24-run career batting average in the IPL is lower than those above him. His strike-rate is lower as well. But he still remains a solid bet for Kings XI Punjab and provides able support to his team with his skilful keeping and batting.
