11 Test records that may never be broken

2. Mark Boucher’s 555 dismissals

Mark Boucher is one of the finest wicketkeepers to have played the sport and successfully went on to register his name in cricketing history with his exceptional performances behind the stumps in his Test career that spanned from 1997 to 2012. While he might have been overshadowed by his counterparts like Adam Gilchrist and Kumar Sangakkara, Boucher remains the most accomplished wicketkeeper to date.

The current South Africa head coach has a record 555 dismissals in the longest format of the game, which is a far-fetched dream for any active or future stumpers. Meanwhile, Boucher has 999 dismissals across all the formats, another tally that could remain undisputed.

An eye injury in England in July 2012 forced Boucher to bring curtains down on his illustrious international career. He decided to give it back to cricket in the ‘Rainbow Nation’ as a coach and has been guiding the Proteas since December 2019.
