India played its first international game in 1932. Since then, thousands of players have represented the nation and contributed to the development of the game. In these years, the world of cricket has witnessed several records that have been made and broken by Indian players. From Yuvraj Singh’s six sixes in an over to Virat Kohli’s fastest 10,000 ODI runs, we have seen many records being shattered over the years across all three formats.

There’s a famous saying- “Records are meant to be broken” and is one that inspires that nothing is impossible in the field of sports. But some records held by Indian players seems to remain unbroken till eternity. On that note, let’s take a look at five cricket records held by Indian cricketers that are impossible to break:

MS Dhoni is India’s most successful captain, the best finisher of all time, and arguably the safest hand behind the wickets the game has ever seen. During his international career, he made many records and one of them is the feat of effecting most stumpings in international cricket across all three formats.

The Ranchi-born cricketer has 195 stumpings at a rate of 1.363 dismissals per innings under his belts in the 15-year-long career. He has 38 in Tests, 123 in ODIs, and 34 in T20Is. No other wicket-keeper is even close to Dhoni. Sri Lanka’s former wicket-keeper Kumar Sangakkara is in the second spot on the list with 139 stumpings across three formats.

Initially, Dhoni’s wicketkeeping skills were not highly rated due to his unorthodox technique but he developed it as one of the strongest aspects of his game. With lightning-fast wicket-keeping skills, the 41-year-old has turned the game into his side’s favor on numerous occasions.
