MS Dhoni has been one of the most prolific cricketers in the Indian cricket history and the old gem still continues to register new records to his name as he became records holder for taking the maximum number of catches in the T20 matches.

Win in the first T20 over the Proteas also witnessed quite a few milestones being created but the most prominent among them was MS Dhoni surpassing Kumar Sangakkara’s record of most number of catches in T20 cricket. Sangakkara held the record with 133 catches (254 games) which Dhoni eclipsed after catching Reeza Hendricks off the bowling of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Dhoni now has 134 victims in 275 T20 matches. This includes performances in T20 Internationals, Indian Premier League (IPL) and other Twenty20 games.

Meanwhile, Dinesh Karthik is third on the list with 123 catches. Pakistan’s Kamran Akmal and West Indies’ Dinesh Ramdin follow thereafter. In T20I Dhoni is leading the list with 77 dismissals (87 matches). Among wicketkeepers with most dismissals in international cricket, Dhoni is third on the list after Mark Boucher and Adam Gilchrist.
