MS Dhoni: Former CSK captain MS Dhoni has made a huge record during the match between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals. He made this record by making one dismissal during this match. MS Dhoni achieved a major feat during Chennai Super Kings’ game against Delhi Capitals at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday. Dhoni took a simple catch behind the wicket to dismiss Prithvi Shaw and became the first wicketkeeper to make 300 dismissals (catch + stump) in T20 cricket. The Chennai Super Kings legend defeated legends like Dinesh Karthik and Quinton de Kock to reach this feat.
Dhoni in great form this season
Dhoni has already taken four catches in three innings this season and is also inching closer to Quinton de Kock’s record of taking most catches in T20 cricket. De Kock has taken a total of 220 catches in T20 cricket. Whereas Dhoni has 213 catches in his name. Dhoni is just 8 catches short of overtaking him and can even overtake him in this IPL. Dhoni took a catch this season against GT, which was discussed a lot. He made a brilliant dive to catch that cat and dismiss Vijay Shankar in the second game against Gujarat Titans at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. It is believed that Mahi is playing his last IPL season.
Most dismissals in T20 cricket:
- MS Dhoni – 300 hunts (212 catches)
- Dinesh Karthik – 276 dismissals (207 catches)
- Kamran Akmal – 274 dismissals (172 catches)
- Quinton de Kock – 269 hunts (220 catches)
- Jos Buttler – 208 dismissals (167 catches)
The 42-year-old veteran is yet to get a chance to bat in CSK’s two matches in IPL 2024, but he has been brilliant as a wicketkeeper. Although Dhoni has not made a single stump this season. Dhoni’s role this season has been quite different. He is not the captain, but Ruturaj, who is the new captain in the team, is guiding him very well. His role from behind the wicket is making a lot of impact in the match. Which is enough for Chennai Super Kings.
