As of 18 March 2015, when he retired from One-Day Internationals (ODIs) at the ICC Cricket World Cup, Sri Lankan wicket-keeper Kumar Sangakkara had been responsible for 482 dismissals (383 catches, 99 stumpings) in 404 ODIs (353 innings) since 5 July 2000. His tally of stumpings is also a record for a wicket-keeper in One-Day Internationals. Sangakkara's first dismissal in One-Day International (ODI) cricket came on debut - a catch off the bowling of Nuwan Zoysa to dismiss Pakistan batsman Yousuf Youhana at Galle International Stadium, Sri Lanka, on 5 July 2000. His final dismissals - two catches - came in a match against Scotland at the ICC Cricket World Cup on 11 March 2015.

Sangakkara took the ODI record from Australia's Adam Gilchrist (472 dismissals; 417 catches, 55 stumpings in 287 matches/281 innings in 1996-2008) with two catches in the final match of Sri Lanka's 2015 ODI series against New Zealand, at Wellington's Westpac Stadium on 29 January 2015. He had previously tied Gilchrist's 472 dismissals by catching New Zealand opener Martin Guptill at Dunedin's University Oval on 25 January 2015.

Sangakkara has also recorded 19 catches as a non-wicket-keeping fielder in ODIs, taking his total number of ODI dismissals to 501. This is 29 dismissals ahead of Adam Gilchrist, who did not add to his 472 dismissals as a wicket-keeper during his ODI career. With the addition of his 19 catches, Sangakkara eclipsed Gilchrist's all-time fielding record in an ODI against England at Hambantota, Sri Lanka, on 3 December 2014.

Sangakkara's record total of 99 ODI stumpings was 14 stumpings ahead of India's MS Dhoni as of 24 March 2015. His 383 ODI catches puts him third behind Gilchrist (417 catches) and South Africa's Mark Boucher (402).

In all international cricket (Tests, ODIs and Twenty20 Internationals combined), Sangakkara made a record 139 stumpings as of 18 March 2015 (five more than Dhoni), 539 catches (fourth behind Boucher on 952) and 678 dismissals (third behind Boucher on 998).
