Ten teams are taking part in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. Chennai Super Kings are the defending champions who are fighting to defend their title. Some teams have already started the IPL 2024 pretty well with their performances, while others are looking to do well.
However, there are teams that are playing with specialists in batting, bowling, and even wicket-keeping. But there are some teams that are playing multiple wicket-keepers in their XI. Having two genuine wicket-keepers in a playing XI is a pretty good option in case of a backup. But here we will talk about four IPL teams that are playing with three wicket-keepers in their playing XIs.
4. Delhi Capitals – Rishabh Pant, Tristan Stubbs and Abishek Porel
The current situation of Delhi Capitals is not that good. They are at the bottom of the table with only one win in five games. However, the return of Rishabh Pant on the cricket field and in good form is a good sight for the fans. He is also keeping the wickets. Apart from him, DC is playing with Tristan Stubbs and Abishek Porel regularly.
3. Lucknow Super Giants – KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock and Nicholas Pooran
It is very rare to have three genuine wicket-keepers in a team, and all three keep wickets at international level. Yes, we are talking here about Lucknow Super Giants. KL Rahul is back and is leading and keeping wickets in the IPL 2024. Apart from him, they have Quinton de Kock and Nicholas Pooran, who keep wickets for South Africa and West Indies, respectively.
2. Punjab Kings – Jonny Bairstow, Jitesh Sharma, Prabhsimran Singh
Having a good Indian keeper is very important; KKR doesn’t have any. Well, Punjab Kings certainly have this option. Jitesh Sharma is a renowned keeper who made his debut for India in the last year and is known for his striking ability. Then, they have Prabhsimran Singh, who opened the innings last season and also slammed a century. Then, they have Jonny Bairstow, who is another attacking batter.
1. Rajasthan Royals – Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Dhurv Jurel
Rajasthan Royals have started the IPL 2024 with a bang and are at the top of the table with four consecutive wins. The best part about them is that their main players are doing well. And those players include Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler. Both are the first-choice keeper batters, and their current form is also good. Apart from these two, Dhurv Jurel, who recently made his debut for India, is the third option in the team.
