- Quinton de Kock (f)
- Rahmanullah Gurbaz (f)
Kolkata Knight Riders have only two wicket-keepers in the side in the form of Overseas duo of Quinton de Kock and Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Given both are Overseas keepers, one of them will play for sure, and as a first-choice option, it has to be Quinton de Kock.

- Shrijith Krishnan
Mumbai Indians have three wicket-keepers in the side in the form of Robin Minz, Ryan Rickleton, and Shrijith Krishnan. The team has Ryan Rickleton as their best wicket-keeper, but in all likelihood, we should see Robin Minz donning the wicket-keeping duties due to Overseas players’ restrictions.
Punjab Kings (PBKS)

- Josh Inglis (f)
- Prabsimran Singh
- Vishnu Vinod
Punjab Kings have three wicket-keepers in the side in the form of Josh Inglis, Prabsimran Singh, and Vishnu Vinod. While Josh Inglis is the best wicket-keeper in the side, it looks unlikely he will play in the first-choice 11 given the Overseas players’ restrictions. Hence, expect Prabsimran Singh to keep wickets, and Vishnu Vinod and Josh Inglis to play as a backup.

Batters

Royal Challengers Bengaluru invested in two quality wicket-keepers, Jitesh Sharma and Phil Salt. Both are quality options in the side, and both will feature in the playing 11.
