Wicket keeping is a surprisingly underrated skill in cricket. There’s only one spot on the team for a keeper, and often the spot is given to the player that is better at batting.

Based on total number of test dismissals, Mark Boucher is the most successful man, and Christina Matthews the most successful woman. But wicket keepers are so much more than their numbers. Jack Russell is widely considered one of the most skilled keepers, standing up to the stumps while pace bowlers were bowling rockets. And if we’re talking reflexes, we can’t forget Sarah Taylor’s mega impressive preemptive catch while diving to her right. Then we have the art of the stumping, which was finessed to a T by MS Dhoni, moving his hands towards the stumps before even catching the ball

And lastly, we also have to talk about the Adam Gilchrist style wicketkeeper - someone who is decently skilled at keeping but a monster at batting. Rishabh Pant is an excellent example of this style of player, with Jamie Smith also currently doing well to emulate this play style. Basically, there’s so much to love about wicket keeping.

So who’s your favourite keeper? Let us know in the comments.
