The latest entry in the long list of achievements in MS Dhoni’s life is that he is now the first-ever wicketkeeper to achieve 150 catches in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). This was indeed a record that the great CSK captain came across during an exhilarating last match with Punjab Kings in IPL 2025.
It is certainly marked by youth, but there is much that Dhoni leaves unmatched when it comes to class and fitness. With that 150th catch, he created an even wider gulf between himself and contemporaries like Dinesh Karthik and Wriddhiman Saha, cementing his place in history even further as an unparalleled wicketkeeper.
MSD IPL Wicket-Keeping Records
- Number of Stumpings – 45
- Number of Catches – 150
- Total Matches played as Wicketkeeper – 267
Not only did the milestone become more arduous due to the entity of wicket-keeping, but it is also more imposing because he has reached this stage of performance at the age of 43.
Well, that catch makes news but Dhoni didn’t stop there. Coming in at the last few balls, he had a fiery cameo of 27 runs not out from only 12 balls. This kind of quick-hitting enabled CSK to pile up a credible total and remind fans that his finishing skills still cut the mustard. In short, Dhoni has continued to affect the game in a way that goes beyond just gloves. He was also batting well and had done pretty sharp captaincy. Dhoni’s acumen in reading the game, mentoring the young, and performing under pressure remains a core value of the success of CSK.
Multiple feats have either been added or remain on hold in the long list of IPL victories that MS Dhoni has accomplished:
- Most matches as Captain in IPL history
- First Player to captain a team in over 200 matches
- Most dismissals by a wicket-keeper in IPL
It is much more than a number because the 150th catch taken by MS Dhoni symbolizes his continued excellence and unparalleled contribution to Indian cricket. He still inspires millions of fans thro
