Most dismissals by a wicket-keeper in IPL
This post was created by CONTACT2DIWAN on 03 Apr 2013 in IPL.
Gilchrist holds records with 55 dismissals followed by Mahendra Singh Dhoni who is only 45 till IPL 5. Gilchrist has taken 39 catches and done 16 stumpings in his 55 dismissals.

There is a good competition between Dhoni, Gilchrist and Sangakkara...

Wrong, Competition is between Dhoni and Sangakara. Gilchrist might play his Last IPL season this year and after that there will be no increase in his dismissals but hopefully Dhoni and Sangakara may play much longer for IPL.

Dhoni is the favourite because he has good spinning options...

@Jeevan vas: Though Dhoni has good spinning options in IPL but caught behind in spinners is very rare cases and T20 format makes it even more difficult. If it was stumping chances, we could have thought over your words but not for now. :) Sangakara will surpass Dhoni's record for this one.

We should not forget that, Brendon MCcullum is also a good keeper and can prove his metal this time. But of course, sangakara and Dhoni too are going good. Mark Boucher is also good keeper.

Mark Boucher is not playing in IPL. Brendon McCullum diesn't keep wickets for KKR as well. Bisla is the keeper batsman for KKR.

Thanks for giving this information. But I think Dhoni is much better then Kumar Sangakara.

@skyshot: there is no comparison of keepers. Both of them does their work pretty well.

It depends on bowlers whether he can move the ball and the balls takes the edge or not. Ball must also carry to the keepers for caught behind.

Caught behinds are always a result of good bowling and not great keeping because keepers generally take everything that comes their way.

This IPL is no exception for Wicket Keepers.
