#3 Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik, who has played for 5 different franchises over the years in the IPL, is an invaluable asset behind the wickets apart from being a solid batsman. He is currently the record holder for executing the highest number of dismissals in the IPL.
In 168 matches that he has played so far, Karthik has completed as many as 124 dismissals as a wicket-keeper. It includes 94 catches and 30 stumpings. With 116 dismissals against his name, M.S. Dhoni is next on the list followed by Robin Uthappa with 90 dismissals.
Karthik was the skipper of the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018 and he led from the front to score 498 runs in 16 matches. The Kolkata based franchise finished third last year. He will look to start things from where he left and guide his team to their third title this time.
