The 3 things that come to our mind when we speak about MS Dhoni are his brilliant captaincy, finishing ability and his wicketkeeping skills.

If one could measure lightening and MS Dhoni’s speed behind the stumps, it's highly likely that both will measure the same. The stumping speed of MS Dhoni stands around 0.06-0.09 second which needs some insane ability to do so.

The former Indian captain has been really amazing behind the stumps as hardly any player would dare to leave the crease when he’s keeping behind. He currently holds the record for most stumpings which is humongous 188 dismissals. Kumar Sangakkara stands next in the list with 139 dismissals.

In the present era, Sarfraz Ahmed is the closest with 54 while Quinton de Kock has 25. The deficit between Dhoni and other wicketkeepers is very large and thus it forms a reason why MS Dhoni could hold this record forever in the record books.
