Wicketkeepers are the unsung heroes of cricket, silently standing their ground, ready to pounce at a moment’s notice. In a sport where a single delivery can change the course of a match, the wicketkeeper’s role is far more crucial than what meets the eye. They are the ones who, with razor-sharp reflexes, collect deliveries traveling at blistering speeds, and whip off the bails in a flash to stump a batsman or run them out. Their job is to keep the opposition’s batsmen in check, to make sure no easy runs slip through, and to support their bowlers in their quest for wickets.
