Zee News
MS Dhoni holds the record of being the quickest Indian ’keeper with 100 dismissals as he achieved the same in only 36 Tests.
Team India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant is close to surpassing his idol and former India captain MS Dhoni. Pant is set to return to wicketkeeping duties for the Boxing Day Test against South Africa beginning on Sunday (December 26).
The Delhi Capitals skipper currently has 97 dismissals to his name from 25 Tests and could easily become the fastest Indian wicket-keeper to register 100 dismissals and becoming only the sixth Indian ’keeper to do so. Currently, Dhoni holds the record of being the quickest Indian ’keeper with 100 dismissals as he achieved the same in only 36 Tests.
Closely following Dhoni is Wriddhiman Saha, who achieved the feat in 37 Tests. Former India keepers Kiran More, Nayan Mongia and Syed Kirmani complete the elite list, having reached the milestone in 39, 41 and 42 Tests, respectively.
