IPL 2019: Predicting the backup wicket-keeper of each team

#5 Heinrich Klaasen (Royal Challengers Banglore)

Heinrich Klaasen moved from Rajasthan Royals to Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore has been the unluckiest side in the history of IPL as they have never lifted the IPL trophy despite reaching the final thrice. Virat Kohli and his men have tried their best but the things have not gone in their favour. Despite having a star-studded line-up, their team has failed to win big matches.

Heinrich Klaasen could play the role of a wild-card entry for RCB in the upcoming edition of IPL, with his wicket-keeping and batting skills. Rajasthan included Klaasen in their side during the last season as a replacement for Steve Smith. He even kept the wickets for them in some matches.

He has so far grabbed 214 catches and has affected 13 stumpings in his career which prove his magnificent wicket-keeping skills. If Parthiv Patel does not get going in the early stages of the season, then Klaasen could don the wicket-keeping gloves in place of him for RCB.
