Who is the best keeper-batsman for India in T20s today?

[Texan]

Pant? Dhoni? Karthik? Rahul? Ishan Kishan? Samson? Anyone else....?

 

Very likely multiple of these could play in the team, one as keeper and the rest as batsmen.

[UrmiSinhaRay]

DK and Dhoni by current form.
Pant won't probably get a chance till next 4-5 yrs (or join Bunty mafia)

If you think its not Pant, you need to seek help.

Ishan looking inconsistent and Samson is not doing Wk anymore.

Pant

Karthik

Dhoni

Pant in my opinion should be in the XI by default. But no Dhoni and only Dhoni will continue to remain keeper till he so desires.

Pant and KKD are both good enough just as a batsman. Pandey can easily be replaced by Pant. Samson front foot player who continues to be frontfoot player so long. No backfoot game. Isan is another Unmukt chand. Lot of vulnerabilities. Hence too many faulty starts in between one fluent innings.  Pant/KKD/Dhoni are the only 3 viable options. Dhoni very rarely went after bowling at the international level from the get go. His tuk tuk has always hurt us. Either Dhoni has to change his approach dramatically or pave way for Pant.

Karthick followed by Dhoni. I must admit Dhoni needs to thank Karthick for lighting fire under his @ss  as he was becoming lazy.

My preference order of Wicketkeepers in LOI

 

Kl Rahul

Pant

Karthik

Ishan Kishan

Dhoni

Samson

[Lannister]

Except for Dhoni and Kishan (who's still need some experience), all have proved their worth to feature in playing X1. 

 

In a different world where merit is the sole factor, this is the first team. 

KL

Dhawan

Kohli

Samson

Pant

Karthik

....

[Suhaan]

Pant hands down

[DHONI_FANN]

Dhoni followed by Pant 

[Moochad]

This is all wrong. I dont believe this. How can Karthick have more catches and stumpings than Dhoni. They need to adjust the above table. Dont they know Dhoni is the bestest.

[Lala]

Dhoni 

[Old guy]

stop saying kl rahul as he is makeshift keeper and it would hurt him long term if this continues as batsman.

 

he should make team as batsman in top order.

 

[vishalvirsingh]

Karthik for ODI and Test. He is a Solid Batsman.

 

Rishant Pant for T20. He is a hard Hitting Batsman.

Dhoni for ODIs and T20s . best from both the worlds
