MS Dhoni scripted a major milestone during the Chennai Super Kings game against Delhi Capitals at Visakhapatnam's ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Dhoni took an easy catch behind to dismiss Prithvi Shaw and became the first wicketkeeper to record 300 dismissals in T20 cricket.

Chennai Super Kings' legend beat the likes of RCB's Dinesh Karthik and LSG's Quinton de Kock to reach the feat. Dhoni has already taken four catches in three innings this season and is also closing in on Quinton de Kock's all-time record for most catches in T20 cricket.

Most dismissals in T20 cricket:

MS Dhoni - 300 dismissals (213 catches)
Dinesh Karthik - 276 dismissals (207 catches)
Kamran Akmal - 274 dismissals (172 catches)
Quinton de Kock - 269 dismissals (220 catches)
Jos Buttler - 208 dismissals (167 catches)

The 42-year-old veteran is yet to get a chance to bat in CSK's two games in IPL 2024 but he has been excellent with keeping gloves behind. He stunned the world with a superhuman flying catch to dismiss Vijay Shankar in the second game against Gujarat Titans at MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Meanwhile, Dhoni also impressed with a bat as he walked out at the Vizag when CSK needed 72 runs to win the game in the last 23 balls. Delhi fell 20 runs short of the target but Dhoni entertained the crowd by smashing 37* off 16 balls. He recorded three big sixes during his cameo and surpassed RCB's Virat Kohli's tally (241 sixes) of the most sixes in IPL history.
