New Delhi: MS Dhoni reached the record-scripting 100th-stumping mark in One-Day International cricket that no other wicketkeeper in the world had ever done. The former Indian captain did so by removing the bails to dismiss Akila Dananjaya after the batsman was left outfoxed by Yuzvendra Chahal. Ergo, Dhoni overhauled the record set by Sri Lankan legend Kumar Sangakkara to affect 100 stumpings in ODIs.
Soon Twitter was filled with congratulatory tweets from the cricketing world and here are a few of them...
Who said lightning doesn't strike twice? Today it did for the 100th time! Well done, @msdhoni! Keep them coming :-) ⚡ pic.twitter.com/HteDcKPWBi

When he started, Wicketkeeping was his weaker suit...he'll finish as the best wicketkeeper of his generation. Dhoni-G faster than 3G-4G.
