Rishabh Pant has been in fine form and he is one of the few wicketkeepers in IPL history to have gotten more than 20 dismissals in a single season, something which MS Dhoni and Adam Gilchrist never achieved.
In each edition of the IPL, there is an Orange and Purple Cap for batters and bowlers. There is not much appreciation for keepers. However, with MS Dhoni changing the way how keepers are viewed, their records also make up for some interesting viewing. While Dhoni leads the charts for the most dismissals in IPL history, his under-study Rishabh Pant has been creating records. In one particular aspect, Rishabh Pant has outdone both MS Dhoni and Adam Gilchrist for the number of dismissals in an IPL season. Here is the total list of wicketkeepers with the most dismissals in a single season.
