Australian women’s cricketer Alyssa Healy is arguably one of the renowned players amongst the females and is excellent at what she does. While she is the wife of Australia’s men’s cricketer Mitchell Starc, she has created her niche and made a name for herself through her exploits at the top of the order and gloves. On Saturday, Alyssa Healy crossed a unique and a monumental landmark.

Alyssa Healy surpassed former Indian men’s keeper-batsman MS Dhoni to record the most number of dismissals. Healy did so in the second T20 international against New Zealand in Brisbane when in the first innings she caught Lauren Down off Georgia Wareham’s bowling. In 114 games, the 30-year old has 92 dismissals while MS Dhoni ended his career on 91.

Alyssa Healy played a significant role in Australia’s victory at the T20 World Cup earlier this year. She mustered 236 runs, including a blistering 75 in the final as the hosts beat India convincingly at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
