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

#4 Robin Uthappa (Kolkata Knight Riders)

Kolkata Knight Riders have got 2 quality Indian wicket-keepers in their side for the 12th season of IPL.

Kolkata Knight Riders have so far won the IPL trophy twice in the IPL history. The Tamil Nadu-born wicket-keeper batsman, Dinesh Karthik took over the captaincy of KKR last year and impressed everyone with his captaincy skills.

As Karthik will most likely feature in all games for KKR, they won’t need a backup wicketkeeper as he would keep the wickets. But, if the selectors include him in the World Cup squad, KKR may need a back-up wicket-keeper. And, in this situation, Robin Uthappa can don the wicket-keeping gloves for the purple and golden army.

He has been a part of KKR since 2014 and has been playing the lead role for them. He has a good record behind the stumps and this will benefit the Kolkata based side.
