Legendary MS Dhoni on Sunday became the most successful wicketkeeper in the Indian Premier League (IPL) during the final match of the 2019 season between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at Hyderabad.
The CSK captain took the catch of rival captain Rohit Sharma off the second ball of the sixth over, bowled by Deepak Chahar. In the previous over, he took first catch of the match, that of Quinton de Kock off the fifth ball, bowled by Shardul Thakur.
Dhoni, 37, entered the match needing two dismissals to overtake Kolkata Kight Riders (KKR) skipper Dinesh Karthik. Dhoni now has 132 dismissals to his name as against Karthik's 131 dismissals.
