The question on every Indian cricket fan’s mind: Who will be donning the wicketkeeping gloves for India in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup? Former BCCI Selection Committee chairman MSK Prasad has shared his insights, shedding light on the contenders and their prospects.

According to Prasad, while Rishabh Pant has shown promising form since his comeback after a near-fatal accident, it might be premature to designate him as the automatic choice. On the other hand, KL Rahul’s injury history raises doubts about his ability to take on the role consistently.

Among the candidates, Jitesh Sharma emerges as a strong contender. Despite Rahul being the designated keeper, his limited recent keeping duties hint at a potential focus on his batting prowess.

Prasad emphasizes the importance of considering the batting role alongside wicketkeeping duties. Jitesh Sharma’s proficiency as a finisher makes him a viable option, while KL Rahul’s undeniable class makes him a standout choice if he finds form and fitness.

In Prasad’s view, the selectors and team management must weigh the options carefully, considering the unique strengths and contributions each player brings to the table. The likes of Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan also add depth to the discussion, offering alternative choices for the crucial wicketkeeper-batsman role.

As the T20 World Cup approaches, the debate over India’s keeper intensifies, with fans eagerly awaiting the final decision and the subsequent impact on the team’s performance.
