MS Dhoni to become the first keeper with 200 dismissals
Not only did he prove all the questions wrong, but he is also all set to become the first wicketkeeper to reach 200 dismissals. In the last three IPL 2025 matches, Dhoni has come out as a star performer, as he has three stumpings under his name.
According to Insidesport, apart from him, there has been no other wicketkeeper who has achieved it. In the latest ongoing match against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati, Dhoni's brilliant stumping of Nitish Rana is something that fans can't stop talking about.
The stumping also changed the momentum of the match.
