IPL 2019: Wicket-keeping candidates and probable keepers for each team

Candidates for Mumbai Indians: Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan, and Aditya Tare

Mumbai Indians happen to be a dominant wicket-keeping base with Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan, and Aditya Tare in their squad. Out of the three, it was Ishan Kishan who conferred the wicket-keeping duties for Mumbai in IPL 2018.

Ishan had a decent tourney in IPL 2018 with MI as his base. Howbeit, Mumbai decided to bolster their wicket-keeping options as they acquired de Kock in a trade with RCB. Hence, after procuring the services of de Kock, settling on a wicket-keeping option will be a task for Mumbai in IPL 2019.

Of all the candidates, Aditya Tare's selection as a wicket-keeper seems highly unlikely as he hasn't been a regular in the team. Thus, the only competition remains between de Kock and Kishan.

Although Kishan performed wonderfully in IPL 2018 as a wicket-keeper, Mumbai will be tempting to go for de Kock who has been an experienced wicket-keeper. His wicket-keeping exploits are no secret, and to add to it, he is a fiery batsman who could notch runs at a faster rate. Besides, if ever IPL shifts to South Africa, the argument will have much more weight.

Thus, Mumbai will be handing the wicket-keeping gloves to de Kock till he is available. And post his departure, Ishan will come in handy.
