A wicketkeeper is a key player in the game of cricket, positioned behind the stumps at the bowler's end. Their primary role is to catch the ball when the batsman misses it, preventing runs and attempting to stump the batsman if they step out of their crease. Wicketkeepers must have quick reflexes and excellent hand-eye coordination. In addition to catching, wicketkeepers also play a crucial role in organizing the fielding team and communicating with bowlers. They often take part in run-outs by collecting the ball quickly and breaking the stumps with it. A skilled wicketkeeper can significantly influence the outcome of a match.
