Dhoni surpassed Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) Robin Uthappa’s record when he stumped SRH captain Kane Williamson off Kar Sharma’s bowling. The dismissal took Dhoni’s stumping tally to 33, going past Uthappa’s 32.

However, on overall dismissals list, Dhoni (116) is on second behind Dinesh Karthik (124). The KKR captain is on third on when it comes to stumpings tally with 30 against his name. SRH wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha, who has also played for Chennai Super Kings, Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders, has 18 affected stumpings and is on fourth. Ziva Doesn’t Care About Trophy, Says MS Dhoni; Shares Family Photo Post CSK’s Win.
