Which wicketkeeper has the most dismissals in IPL?

MS Dhoni has the most wicketkeeper dismissals in IPL history. His total combines catches and stumpings made while keeping for Chennai Super Kings, Rising Pune Supergiant and other IPL appearances.

Dhoni’s record reflects exceptional longevity behind the stumps. He played in the IPL’s inaugural season in 2008 and remained a regular wicketkeeper for many years, giving him hundreds of opportunities to affect matches with catches and lightning-fast stumpings. His leadership and wicketkeeping were central to Chennai Super Kings’ sustained success.

A dismissal by a wicketkeeper can be either a catch or a stumping. Dhoni is particularly renowned for stumpings, often removing the bails in a fraction of a second when a batter leaves the crease. He has also taken a large number of catches from edges produced by fast bowlers and spinners.

Dinesh Karthik, Wriddhiman Saha and Robin Uthappa are all accomplished IPL wicketkeepers, but none has matched Dhoni’s combined dismissal tally. Statistics count only dismissals made while the player was serving as the designated wicketkeeper.
