However, for a modern-day wicketkeeper, his batting skills matter as much as his prowess behind the stumps. A fitting example in today's world being Wriddhiman Saha and Rishabh Pant. If you have someone like Rishabh Pant, who can change the complexion of the match with his batting also, that is a huge advantage for the Indian team.
