Dhoni has now become the first wicketkeeper in IPL history to achieve 200 dismissals. Entering the match with 198 dismissals, he reached this remarkable milestone in the eighth over when Sunil Narine was stumped by Noor Ahmad. Just two deliveries later, Angkrish Raghuvanshi was caught behind, marking the 200th dismissal for the CSK legend.

Throughout his IPL career, Dhoni has recorded 153 catches and 47 stumpings, culminating in a total of 200 dismissals. He holds records in nearly every significant statistical category for wicketkeepers in the league. Dinesh Karthik follows with 174 dismissals (137 catches and 37 stumpings) and has since retired. Rishabh Pant, an active player, has achieved 100 dismissals but still has a long way to go to catch up with Dhoni. In the history of the IPL, only four players have surpassed the 100 dismissal mark, and Dhoni is the first to double that figure.
