3 young specialist wicket-keepers India can groom to replace Wriddhiman Saha in Tests

#2 Ishan Kishan

Rajasthan Royals v Mumbai - India IPL T20 — Kishan can be the answer to many questions

If a cricket enthusiast is asked to predict India's full-time wicket-keeper after half a decade, the majority of the votes will go to Ishan Kishan. The Patna boy made a name for himself with his domestic brilliance, which earned him a contract worth the moon from Mumbai Indians.

Kishan celebrated his 20th birthday just a few days back and could be the young, specialist keeper India is looking for. He scored 275 runs in the IPL at a strike rate of nearly 150. Besides that, his FC average is over 40. Representing Jharkhand in the Ranji Trophy, Kishan made 13 dismissals last year. In this young age, he has already crossed 2000-run mark in FC cricket.
