The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been a big platform not only for batsmen and bowlers but also for wicketkeepers. This league, which started in 2008, has made many great keepers stars. Lightning-fast stumpings behind the wicket, flying catches and dismissals that change the course of the match, all this has been an important part of the thrill of IPL. Now if we talk about the wicketkeepers who have given the most dismissals, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is still at the top in this list.

MS Dhoni, who has played for Chennai Super Kings and Rising Pune Supergiants, has made a total of 201 dismissals in the IPL so far. These include 154 catches and 47 stumpings. This figure of 278 matches in his name shows his experience and class. His decisions behind the wicket and lightning-like speed are still an example for the youth.
Dinesh Karthik
RCB’s experienced keeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has been one of the most reliable wicketkeepers of the IPL. He has made 174 dismissals in 257 matches. His consistency and fitness have kept him the first choice for different teams over the years.
Wriddhiman Saha
Wriddhiman Saha, who has played for Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad for a long time, is at third place in the list. He has made 113 dismissals in 170 matches. Which includes 87 catches and 26 stumpings. Saha’s average (0.758) is better than both Karthik and Dhoni, which shows his effective keeping.
Rishabh Pant
The most special name in the list is Rishabh Pant. Pant, who made his IPL debut in 2016, has played only 125 matches so far, but he has made 101 dismissals. His dismissal rate is 0.878 per innings, which is the highest in the top-5. 101 dismissals in just 115 innings, shows that Pant can reach the top of the list in the future.
Robin Uthappa
Robin Uthappa may not have been a full-time keeper, but he did wicketkeeping in the initial years of his career. In IPL, he has made 90 dismissals in 114 innings while playing for CSK, KKR and many other teams and is at fifth position in this list.
