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

#2 Jonny Bairstow (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

Jonny Bairstow has been keeping the wickets for England in test matches.

Sunrisers Hyderabad had a great IPL season last year as they reached the final of the tournament. Despite regular skipper, David Warner‘s absence, the stand-in captain Kane Williamson took the team to the final but SRH lost the final to the Chennai Super Kings.

Hyderabad has got one of the best wicket-keepers in their side in the form of Wriddhiman Saha. Saha has kept the wickets for India at the international level, which has provided him with a good experience of keeping. However, if Saha gets sidelined because of any reason, then Jonny Bairstow could play the role of the keeper for SRH.

Bairstow is all set to make his IPL debut in the year 2019 after the Sunrisers Hyderabad bought him in the auction. He could play the role of back-up wicket-keeper for their side as he has already kept the wickets for England at the international level.
