Stats: MS Dhoni goes past AB de Villiers' record for effecting most T20I dismissals

MS Dhoni now has the most dismissals in T20Is

India carried on the momentum from their ODI series win by inflicting a huge loss on a hapless Sri Lankan unit in the first game of the three-T20I series at Cuttack. Driven by KL Rahul's assured knock at the top, and helped along by cameos from MS Dhoni and Manish Pandey, India compiled a competitive total that was eventually too much to handle for a misfiring Sri Lankan line-up, especially in the face of some tight bowling by the spinners.

Here are all the numbers from Rohit Sharma's debut T20I game as captain:

0 - No one has taken more catches in T20s than MS Dhoni and Kumar Sangakkara as wicketkeepers:

133 - Kumar Sangakkara, MS DHONI*

121 - Dinesh Karthik

115 - Kamran Akmal

1 - MS Dhoni went past AB de Villiers' record for most dismissals in T20Is, taking his tally to 74, one more than the South African.

93 vs SRI LANKA (Cuttack. 2017)

90 vs England (Colombo, 2012)

75 vs England (Bengaluru, 2017)

73 vs Australia (Mirpur, 2014)

2 - This was the second T20I for India at Cuttack. India were all out for 92 in their first and only previous T20I at Cuttack, against South Africa in 2015.

2 - MS Dhoni becomes the second wicket-keeper to effect 200 dismissals in T20 cricket after Kamran Akmal.
