Dhoni Makes History in IPL; Completes 200 Dismissals Behind the Stumps

While Chennai Super Kings (CSK) registered a 7-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 clash on Friday, MS Dhoni also completed a unique double-century behind the stumps. The 41-year-old former Indian Skipper became the first wicket-keeper in the history of IPL to be part of 200 dismissals.

In the match against SRH, Dhoni was the catalyst in a run-out, a catch, and a stumping, adding to his tally to complete the unique ‘double ton’ in 233 IPL matches.

Behind him is Royal Challengers Bangalore’s veteran wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik who has 187 dismissals to his name in 218 matches. Former RCB stumper AB de Villiers follows him at No. 3 spot with 140 dismissals. Robin Uthappa, Wriddhiman Saha, and Parthiv Patel come in next in the list.
