Here’s a list of wicketkeepers with the most dismissals

In cricket, we frequently pay attention to who is striking, bowling, and fielding but neglect to pay attention to the wicketkeeper.

Behind the stumps, a wicketkeeper must be alert, nimble, and quick to react. Any game could have a win or loss depending on it. Therefore, each team’s starting 11 must include a capable wicketkeeper.

Here’s the list of wicketkeepers who have the most dismissals

Mark Boucher

Mark Boucher, a South African who has participated in all three cricket formats, is regarded as one of the greatest wicketkeeper-batsmen of all time. Mark is the first wicketkeeper in the history of test cricket to reach 400 dismissals, and he holds the record for the most wicketkeeper dismissals (532 catches and 23 stumpings) ever. He is currently the best wicketkeeper in the world thanks to his prowess, batting prowess, and stellar career behind the stumps.

Adam Gilchrist

Without a doubt, Adam Gilchrist has earned a reputation as one of the best wicketkeepers and batsmen in history. Gilchrist’s dismissals—379 catches and 37 stumpings in Test matches, 417 catches and 55 stumpings in ODI matches, and 17 catches in T20I matches—have brought honour to the Australian cricket team. He is one of only three cricketers to have hit 100 sixes in a single test match. He won the Allan Border Medal in 2003, Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 2002, and World’s Scariest Batsman in 2004.

MS Dhoni

The best wicketkeeper in the world, without a doubt, is MS Dhoni. He is one of the Indian Cricket Team’s most successful, admired, and well-known captains. He is renowned not only for his batting skills but also for being a superb wicketkeeper. The Indian cricket team has won two World Cups, two Asia Cups, and one Champions Trophy under his direction. The record for the most ODI stumpings (123) belongs to Dhoni.
