👤 Author: Tirth Raval | StatsOverStumps

The function of a wicket-keeper is frequently overlooked in the high-stress world of international cricket. Their tenacious efforts behind the stumps, taking catches from both pace and spin bowlers, are what really define their impact, even though their batsmanship and lightning-fast stumpings are praised. By dismissing a crucial batsman and shifting the momentum back in a team's favor, a spectacular catch has the power to change the course of a game. The wicketkeepers who have recorded the most catches in international cricket history across all three formats are honored on this list, which honors the game's unsung heroes.
