Batting and bowling are critical components of winning a game of cricket. However, the importance of fielding is frequently overlooked. Brilliant fielding can sometimes change the course of a match. Many fielders have shown their brilliant skills contributing to the team winning the match. In this article, we will have a look at some of the best fielders in the deep of all time.
AB de Villers is known for his unconventional shots and is regarded as one of the most innovative and destructive batsmen of the modern era. He is also one of the best fielders and, overall, one of the best players.
De Villers has now retired from all forms of cricket, but he was a joy to watch on the field. He was also an excellent keeper, but he was at his best when fielding in the deep. His catch against Hyderabad in the Indian T20 League remains one of the league’s best.
Former South African captain Faf Du Plessis has retired from international cricket and now plays for various franchises around the world. The 37-year-old is still in great shape and is regarded as one of the deep’s safe hands.
He fields in the deep and has taken some outstanding catches in both the Indian T20 League and international cricket. The veteran cricketer has taken as many as 168 catches in his international career.
Ravindra Jadeja’s gun fielding is more well-known than his batting and bowling. His throws from the deep are lightning-fast, and he rarely misses his target even from the deep. Jadeja has 121 catches to his name so far, and that number is sure to rise.
One of his best catches for India came in the 2019 World Cup when he dismissed English batter, Jason Roy. Stationed at long-on, Jadeja completed the stunning catch with a forward-diving catch.
