The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the most popular and richest cricket in the league, comprising of 10 franchise teams. The 18th edition of the IPL is set to take place from March 22, 2025 to May 25, 2025 with a number of individual awards up for the taking. The Orange Cap is handed to the batsman with the most runs in a single edition of the league, while the Purple Cap is awarded to the bowler with the most wickets.

While batting and bowling milestones in the IPL often grab headlines, fielding also plays a crucial role in the outcome of a contest. Renowned wicket-keepers such as Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Dinesh Karthik have dominated the charts with the most dismissals with 190 and 174 respectively, excelling in catches and stumpings. On the other hand, players like Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, and Ravindra Jadeja have also left their impact on the league with their eye-catching fielding.

Former India captain and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) wicket-keeper MS Dhoni sits at the top spot in the list of most dismissals in the IPL. Since the start of the IPL 2008, he has taken a total of 148 catches and 42 stumpings, as of March 2025. The only other wicket-keepers with over 100 IPL dismissals are Dinesh Karthik and Wriddhiman Saha. Following closely is Rishabh Pant with 95 dismissals to his name, as of March 2025.
