MS Dhoni Becomes First Wicketkeeper-Batter to Complete 300 Dismissals in T20 Cricket

MS Dhoni has become the first wicket-keeper batter to compete 300 dismissals in T20s.

The former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain, MS Dhoni, has become the first wicketkeeper-batter in the history of T20 cricket to complete 300 dismissals.

The 42-year-old achieved this milestone during the 13th match of the IPL 2024 against the Delhi Capitals at Vizag.

Dinesh Karthik stands second in this list with 276 dismissals to his name in T20 cricket, while Pakistan’s former wicketkeeper-batter, Kamran Akmal, is third in this list with 274 dismissals.

Notably, MS Dhoni, who retired from international cricket back in 2019, has finally stepped down from the captaincy of the Chennai Super Kings this season and appointed Ruturaj Gaikwad as the captain of the team.

This also implies that MS Dhoni is likely in his final season playing for the Chennai Super Kings wearing the yellow jersey this year.
