IPL 2025: MS Dhoni Creates History! First Player Ever to Record 200 Dismissals in IPL

MS Dhoni has done it again—rewriting the record books in the IPL. The former Chennai Super Kings captain and legendary wicketkeeper has now become the first player in IPL history to complete 200 dismissals behind the stumps.

A Milestone Like No Other

In the match against Lucknow Super Giants, Dhoni stumped Ayush Badoni off Ravindra Jadeja’s bowling, marking his 200th IPL dismissal—a feat no other cricketer has achieved. Here's how it breaks down:

• 154 catches as wicketkeeper
• 46 stumpings
• 4 catches as a fielder
• Total: 200 dismissals
  This came in his 271st IPL match, another testament to his longevity and excellence.

Dhoni-Jadeja Combo: IPL’s Most Lethal Pair?

With this latest stumping, the Dhoni-Jadeja duo now has:

• 9 stumpings together (equaling two other legendary IPL pairs)
• 10 catches by Dhoni off Jadeja’s bowling
• Total: 19 dismissals as a pair

They are now just one dismissal behind the top spot, currently held by Rishabh Pant and Kagiso Rabada (20 combined).

CSK’s Struggles Continue

While Dhoni continues to shine individually, Chennai Super Kings are struggling in IPL 2025. After six matches, they have only 1 win and sit at the bottom of the points table with just 2 points.

Even as CSK stumbles, MS Dhoni keeps adding golden chapters to his legacy—proving yet again why he’s called Captain Cool and one of the greatest to ever play the game.
