Former India captain MS Dhoni, at the age of 36, has proven few indicators of slowing as an unprecedented wicketkeeper in limited-overs cricket. His swiftness at the back of the stumps has been a pivotal consider India profitable the ODI leg in their excursion Five-1 - the first collection win by an Indian team on South African soil - and within the first Twenty20 international Dhoni once more was in motion at the back of the stumps to add some other record to his identify.

During the 3rd fit of the ODI collection, Dhoni had become the fourth wicketkeeper to effect 400 dismissals in ODIs, after Kumar Sangakkara (482 in 404 games), Adam Gilchrist (472 in 287) and Mark Boucher (424 in 295).
During the first T20I on Sunday, Dhoni’s dismissal of Reeza Hendricks, off the bowling of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, was his 134th catch in T20 cricket which gave him the record of maximum catches within the structure. Dhoni broke the present record of Sangakkara, who had claimed 133 catches in 254 T20 suits.
Dhoni already owns the record for many dismissal in T20Is, having effected 77 within the structure - 48 catches and 29 stumpings. The 48 catches that Dhoni has taken in 87 T20Is is already an international record.
Some of the opposite records that belong to Dhoni come with maximum centuries whilst batting at No 7, maximum sixes as captain in ODIs, maximum stumpings in international cricket, perfect rating by a wicketkeeper in ODIs and maximum T20I suits received as captain.
With 9967 runs in ODI cricket, Dhoni is 33 runs clear of joining Sri Lankan great Sangakkara as the second one wicketkeeper-batsman to the landmark of 10,000 runs within the structure. It is some other feather in Dhoni’s cap that will unquestionably be added when India next play ODIs this summer time in England.
