T20i record: While the figures of batsmen and bowlers are the most discussed in T20 International cricket, the contribution of wicketkeepers is equally important. The players standing behind the wicket not only catch the catch, but also play a decisive role in stumping and run out. The Indian team has so far been many such wicketkeepers who have left their mark in T20. Let’s know about the most dismal wicketkeepers for India.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni – 91 dismissal
India’s most successful captain and veteran wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is at the top of this list. He has hunted 91 in 98 matches played from 2006 to 2019. These include 57 catches and 34 stumpings. Dhoni’s best performance was 5 catches in an innings. His dismissal was 0.93 per innings, which reflects his consistent contribution.
Rishabh Pant – 49 dismissal
