Anuj Rawat picks his top 5 wicketkeepers of all-time, includes one Indian [Exclusive]

Anuj Rawat [Exclusive]

Gujarat Titans and Delhi player, Anuj Rawat, recently revealed his list of the top five wicketkeepers of all time in an exclusive chat with CricTracker. Among his selections, the only Indian name he picked was former Indian skipper MS Dhoni. Although Rawat has never shared a dressing room with the legendary captain, he has often been seen speaking to him from the sidelines of the IPL, just like many other young cricketers hoping to learn from Dhoni.

Another notable inclusion on Rawat’s list was Jos Buttler. Unlike with Dhoni, Rawat has first-hand experience with Buttler, having shared the dressing room with him during his stint at Rajasthan Royals and now Gujarat Titans. The duo will once again be seen donning the Gujarat jersey in the 2026 edition.

Rawat’s own career began with the Rajasthan Royals, after which he moved to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where he produced a few memorable knocks. Picked by GT for IPL 2025, he did not get a game this season, but his form in the ongoing DPL 2025 has led him to be part of their retention list for the upcoming season. Rawat also took part in a Rapid Fire round with us. Let us have a look:
