Dhoni’s stumping will hardly be matched by any wicketkeeper in the whole world. Dhoni knows the art of taking wickets in less than 1 minute. In such a situation, let us look at some special records of Dhoni as a captain and wicketkeeper(Dhoni Birthday Special).
Most Matches as Captain
Dhoni is the player with the most matches as a captain in all three formats of cricket. Dhoni has played the most 332 matches as captain in Indian cricket from 2007 to 2018 in all three formats (ODI, Test and T20), out of which he won 178, lost 120 and tied 6 matches. In this, he has played 200 ODIs, out of which 110 have been won, 74 have been lost and 16 have been tied(Dhoni Birthday Special).
As captain, he played a total of 74 T20 matches, in which he won 41, lost 28, and tied 3. He played 60 matches as captain, won 27, lost 18, and drew 15. However, the second number after Dhoni is the great Australian captain Ricky Ponting, who played a total of 324 matches during 2002-2012, which is only 8 matches less than Dhoni.

The world’s great cricketer is also convinced of Dhoni’s wicketkeeping. Cheetah’s moves and Mahi’s stumpings can never be doubted. However, Dhoni is counted among those players who have the skill to win matches from behind the wicket.
In such a situation, Dhoni has the record of scoring the most runs in an ODI innings as a wicketkeeper, which he made on 31 October 2005 against Sri Lanka at home ground. He scored an unbeaten 183 with 15 fours and 10 sixes at a strike rate of 126.20. He is followed by South African batsman Q de Kock, who has scored an inning of 178 runs(Dhoni Birthday Special).
Most dismissals in innings while being wicket-keeper
The third and special record is in the name of Dhoni. Holds the record for the most number of dismissals in an ODI innings. Dhoni holds the record for dismissing the most number of players in an innings against England at Leeds on 02 September 2007 as a wicket-keeper.
He took 5 catches and 1 stump out in this innings. However, Gilchrist is also equal to him in the list, who has achieved this record many times against different teams.
