Previously leading the list for most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in T20s, Dhoni has now further solidified his position as the ultimate stalwart in wicketkeeping prowess.

The statistical dominance of Dhoni in the realm of wicketkeeping is unparalleled, with no other wicketkeeper even touching the 280-dismissal mark. His former India teammate Dinesh Karthik and Pakistan's Kamran Akmal are joint-second on the list with 274 dismissals, followed closely by South Africa's Quinton de Kock and England's Jos Buttler.

In international T20s, Dhoni ranks second in dismissals behind Quinton de Kock, boasting an impressive tally of 91 dismissals. Retiring from international cricket in 2020, Dhoni's legacy as a wicketkeeper remains unmatched, with only Mark Boucher and Adam Gilchrist surpassing his tally of dismissals.

Dhoni's record in international cricket as a wicketkeeper speaks volumes about his unparalleled skill and contribution to the sport. With 829 dismissals to his name, including 634 catches and 195 stumpings, Dhoni stands as a towering figure in the history of cricket.

Despite his leadership role transition in IPL 2024, Dhoni's fans eagerly anticipate his batting prowess on the field. While he has yet to face a ball in the tournament, his legacy as a veteran wicketkeeper-batsman continues to inspire fans worldwide.
