What is a stumping?

A stumping happens when the batter is out of the crease and the wicketkeeper breaks the stumps with the ball in hand. It is seen most often against spin.

What the stat tells you

Higher stumping numbers can point to alert footwork, clean gathering, and strong anticipation from the keeper.

Why context matters

Not every keeper gets the same number of stumping chances because bowling attacks and conditions differ. That is why catches and stumpings are better read together.
