Stats: Most stumpings in international career
With 2 stumpings to his name in the 2nd of the 5-match One Day International series against England, which India won by a massive 133-run margin, MS Dhoni is now on level with Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara for the most number of stumpings in international cricket: 129 such dismissals in ODIs, Tests and Twenty20 internationals included.
With 3 more matches remaining in the series, this record is most likely to get broken very soon.

Besides Dhoni and Sangakkara, only Bangladesh’s Mushfiqur Rahim and Pakistan’s Kamran Akmal are active among those in the following list:
