KL Rahul kept wickets in the 2019 season for the Kings. Rahul is not a regular keeper, and although he had a decent time behind the stumps, a specialized keeper is crucial for any team in T20 cricket.

Mushfiqur Rahim has been an integral part of the Bangladesh team across all three formats. In T20 internationals, the gritty wicketkeeper-batsman has scored four half-centuries and has a strike rate of 118.79.

Rahim has the experience of playing on sub-continent pitches, and is a good keeper to both spin and pace.

Rahim has not played a single season in the IPL. However, the Kings would do well to get a player like him - a specialist keeper and a handy middle order batsman who can stabilize the innings in case of an early innings collapse. Rahim can also play the role of a finisher by scoring quick runs in the death overs, which would be an added bonus.
