Wicket-keepers with Record of Most dismissals in an innings: T20I cricket

It shows when you see a wicket-keeper play, he keeps the stumps completely for 20 over’s in a T20I cricket match. Comes back to bat, and often bats in tough situations, down the order. Dismissals inducted by the stumper is very important as he is the guy who is continuously in business every ball. A good, expert wicketkeeper is the one who effects dismissals without missing many. Caught, stumping are the two ways in which he can get a batsman out.

Here is the record for top 5 most number of dismissals by stumping for a wicketkeeper in Twenty 20 International cricket.

At the 5^th spot is Niel O’Brien of the Ireland, O’Brien got rid of 4 batsmen in the game against Sri Lanka which includes 3 catches and a stumping. This is an impressive record to hold for him as Ireland play very few matches and in the limited opportunities and exposure they get Niel has impressed many by his wicket keeping skills.
Above him at the 4^th position is Pakistan wicket keeper Kamran Akmal who is more often criticized for his skills behind the wicket. Akmal dismissed 4 batsmen and all by stumping versus Netherlands and got himself some respect. This record is something to be proud of for Kamran.

The second position is Matt Prior; the English wicketkeeper too does not enjoy the image of a safe and effective one. But he did well against South Africa as he took 4 catches in that innings. Thus he makes himself eligible for the record of 2^nd most dismissals in T20I cricket. See also Best Opening Partnerships in ODI cricket: List of the Top 5
