A wicket-keeper is a player in cricket who stands behind the batter's wicket, ready to catch the ball if the batter misses or is out. They also play a key role in stopping balls that are thrown wide or that bounce unpredictably. The wicket-keeper wears special gloves and pads to protect themselves while catching when they leave the crease. This player is an important part of the team’s defense, often working closely with the bowlers and fielders to get the batter out.
