👤 Author: Tirth Raval | StatsOverStumps

In cricket, a stumping is a genuine demonstration of timing, agility, and reflex, even though catches are frequently thought of as a necessary part of wicketkeeping. With a stumping, the wicket-keeper must be lightning fast to take advantage of a batsman's brief moment of distraction when they leave their crease. It's a skill that blends precision and anticipation, and it frequently ends a partnership quickly. The wicket-keepers who have amassed the most stumpings in international cricket across all three formats are recognized on this list as the real masters of the craft. They are the crease's protectors, and their deft hands have made their teams happy and their opponents' batsmen sad.
