MS Dhoni Records 100 Stumpings in ODIs, Surpasses Sangakkara

Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni became the first player to effect 100 stumpings in ODIs.

Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni became the first player to effect 100 stumpings in One Day Internationals during the fifth ODI against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Sunday.

Dhoni achieved the feat in his 301st ODI when he whipped off the bails to dismiss Akila Dananjaya off leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal's bowling.

The 36-year-old has also taken 281 catches apart from scoring 9,657 runs (before the start of the Indian chase).

Dhoni has played 90 Tests and 77 T20 Internationals in his career. In 90 Tests, Dhoni took 256 catches and effected 38 stumpings while his T20 Internationals' catches/stumping record stands at 43/23.

Here’s how Twitterati reacted to Dhoni’s new milestone.
