T20 cricket has gained massive popularity over the years as the dynamics of matches can change in no time. We have seen momentum shifting within a span of a few deliveries. However, complacency is one of the last things players can afford in T20s. Notably, players also require some specific skillsets to make a name in T20s.
While batters need to have several shots in their books, bowlers need variations to thrive. The level of fielding has also enhanced in the T20 era. However, wicketkeeping is one department that doesn’t get a lot of emphasis. Nevertheless, a keeper’s contribution is very crucial with caught behind and stumpings being two of the most common forms of dismissals in T20s. Several wicketkeepers have shown their brilliance in T20 World Cups as well.
