M S Dhoni completes 200 catches in India
Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Wednesday Oct 25,2017 scripted another record by becoming the first cricketer to complete 200 international catches in India.
Dhoni, 36, took the catch of Martin Guptill in the third over off the bowling of Bhuvneshwar Kumar to reach the milestone during the second India-New Zealand ODI match.
He thus became the world's third and first Indian wicket-keeper to achieve the feat. Sri Lankan legend Kumar Sangakkara and England's Alec Stewart have done this in their respective countries before Dhoni.
Overall, he is fourth in the list of most catches (288) - behind Adam Gilchrist (417) for Australia and ICC, Mark Boucher (402) for South Africa and Africa, Sangakkara (383) for Sri Lanka, ICC and Asia.
Later in the innings, he took another catch, off the bowling of Hardik Pandya, to dismiss Ross Taylor.
