Sportskeeda's Top 50 Indian Test cricketers of all-time (40-31)

#36 Kiran More

Only MS Dhoni and Syed Kirmani have affected more dismissals for India than Kiran More

In terms of pure wicket-keeping skills, not many could match Kiran More's athleticism and enthusiasm behind the stumps. Not unlike those of his ilk, he was a feisty competitor and often managed to get under the skin of well-set batsmen. His hilarious interaction with Javed Miandad during a pool game in the 1992 World Cup remains one of the most fascinating moments in the intense rivalry between India and Pakistan. When he donned his whites as well, the Baroda-born cricketer showed a similar amount of zeal.

With his safe pair of hands and quick reflexes, More became a vital cog in the Indian team. Even as the likes of Narendra Hirwani and Anil Kumble were making merry on rapidly deteriorating pitches, his dexterous wicket-keeping played a crucial role in enhancing their spells. Not the most gifted with the bat, he still found ways to contribute to the team total through sheer will.
