Kumar Sangakkara holds the record for most dismissals behind the wickets. Overall, he has effected 36 dismissals with 27 catches and 9 stumpings.

MS Dhoni is second with 24 dismissals. He has taken 19 catches and has 5 stumpings to his name. What is interesting is that Dhoni's dismissal/ per inning is the best at 1.69, among wicket-keepers who have effected at least 10 dismissals.

It would be interesting to see if Dhoni goes past Sangakkara in Asia Cup 2018.

Moin Khan at 17, Brendon Kuruppu at 14 and Romesh Kaluwitharna at 11 are at third, fourth and fifth position respectively.
