IPL 2018: 5 records that are expected to be broken by the end of the season
The Indian Premier League is just four days away and all the teams are fighting it out hard to dominate the next two months of cricket in the scorching Indian summer. The upcoming edition of IPL promises to be a big affair.
IPL has been a pool of records. In its long history of ten years, IPL has witnessed many records being broken. Thus, let us have a look at five IPL records that are expected to be shattered by the end of the season.
#5 Most stumpings in the history of the league
When it comes to stumpings, MS Dhoni is the ultimate boss. But the story is different in IPL as Robin Uthappa leads the chart of most stumpings in the history of the league. Affecting 32 stumpings, Robin takes the first place in the list.
The prime reason why MS Dhoni doesn't top the list is that in the first season of IPL, many times, Parthiv Patel used to keep wickets instead of MS Dhoni. However, with the possibility of Dinesh Karthik keeping the wickets for KKR this year, MS Dhoni might break the record.
Currently, MS Dhoni stands second on the list with 30 IPL stumpings. While Dinesh Karthik (26), Wriddhiman Saha (17), and Adam Gilchrist (16) take the third, fourth, and fifth spot respectively.
Contenders who can break the record: As of now, only MS Dhoni seems the strong contender. However, considering Karthik's reputation, we cannot sideline him either.
