Top 20 Most Dismissals by Wicketkeeper in ODIs

UpdatedMonday, February 16, 2015

Keeping the wickets is definitely one of the most challenging tasks on the cricket field. A heavily loaded pace battery, a rock-steady batting line-up and an outstanding fielding unit: still a failure without a proper wicket-keeper. The wicket keeper can contribute towards the dismissal of a batsman in the several ways, including a simple caught behind the wicket, stumping the batsman with his quick reflexes and running a batsman out on the striker’s end. There is hardly any scope of error in this job.

Now a day, entry into the keeping slot is much difficult if you are not an exceptional talent with the bat in your hand. Therefore a keeper now has to perform the dual role of keeper-batsman. Such an athlete is a rare commodity for any country.Top 20 Most Dismissals by Wicketkeeper in ODIs is the list which stresses on the essentials of a regular wicket keeper in the game of cricket.Most Dismissals by Wicketkeeper
