Quinton de Kock Equaled MS Dhoni Big World Record: The start of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 was nothing special with the bat for South Africa’s star wicketkeeper batsman Quinton de Kock, but while keeping wickets, he has equaled the world record of former Indian captain MS Dhoni. Quinton took two catches behind the wicket in the match against Canada. With this, he has equaled MS Dhoni’s world record of most victims in the T20 World Cup. This was De Kock’s 32nd dismissal behind the wicket, while Dhoni had also made the same number of dismissals in his T20 International career. Now De Kock is one step away from creating history and he can create a new world record in the very next match.
