With his 208th catch in T20 cricket, MS Dhoni broke the record for most catches by a wicketkeeper. Dhoni was leading CSK at their home and once again became the centre of attention as a sea of yellow filled the stadium in the IPL 2023.
One of the best wicket-keepers in cricket history, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is lightning-quick behind the stumps. Even before the batter has time to blink, his quick hand’s complete catches and stumpings.
MS Dhoni broke the record for most catches in men’s T20 cricket on Friday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai during match number 29 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) that was played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
Dhoni took a sharp catch of Aiden Markram off the bowling of Mahesh Theekshana after stumping Mayank Agarwal off the bowling of Ravindra Jadeja.

Chennai Super Kings won their match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai’s Chepauk neighbourhood to earn their fourth victory of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.
