There is no denying how wicketkeepers are an integral part of a cricket team. Not only do they perform their glovework well, but they can also single-handedly turn the game with the bat. Usually, we see wicketkeeper-batters are hard-hitting players, and there is no better example than MS Dhoni, Rishabh Pant, and Ishan Kishan. Since IPL 2025 is currently the most talked-about event, with the auction just happened, many teams that previously lacked quality wicketkeepers are now packed with them. We can expect all these stylish wicketkeepers to leave their mark in the upcoming season. Here’s a look at the probable or almost confirmed wicketkeepers of each IPL team for IPL 2025.
Wicketkeepers of all 10 teams in IPL 2025
| No. | Wicketkeeper | Team |
| 1 | Anju Samson | RR |
| 2 | Ryan Rickelton | MI |
| 3 | Rishabh Pant | LSG |
| 4 | Phil Salt | RCB |
| 5 | MS Dhoni | CSK |
| 6 | KL Rahul | DC |
| 7 | Heinrich Klaasen | SRH |
| 8 | Josh Inglis | PBKS |
| 9 | Quinton de Kock | KKR |
| 10 | Jos Buttler | GT |
If we look at the changes, since MI released Ishan Kishan, South African wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton is the new addition to Mumbai Indians, bringing his dependable glovework and ability to anchor innings. He could potentially open the batting alongside Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant, who became the most expensive buy in IPL history, is expected to lead Lucknow Super Giants and is also the front-runner for their wicketkeeping duties. RCB has added Phil Salt to their roster, a reliable wicketkeeper and powerful top-order batter whose aggressive style complements the team’s dynamic approach. Also, there is no doubt that the iconic MS Dhoni will continue as Chennai Super Kings trusted wicketkeeper.
