Top 3 players with most catches in Indian T20 League

There is a popular proverb in cricket ‘catches win matches’ and we often hear this from the commentators and former cricketers as well. When there is nothing going well for a team, a crucial catch can bring back the squad into the game. Catching is the most important and basic part of cricket.

There are only a few fielders in cricket who have one of the safest hands and have taken the most number of catches in the Indian T20 League. We have also seen many spectacular catches in the cash-rich league. But, here we will take a look at the top 3 players with the highest number of catches in the Indian T20 League.

3. Rohit Sharma

The Mumbai-based franchise’ skipper Rohit Sharma who also leads the Indian cricket team comes in the third position in the list of most catches in the cash-rich league. Rohit has taken 97 catches in 227 matches he played so far. Despite getting trolled a lot for his fitness, the star right-hander has shown his brilliant fielding ability many times on the ground. However, he will have the opportunity to top the list as the other top 2 cricketers have announced their retirement from the league.

2. Kieron Pollard

West Indies star allrounder who used to play for Mumbai sits at the no.2 spot in the list with 103 catches in only 189 matches he played. Pollard played an important role for Mumbai to become the most successful franchise in the history of the Indian T20 League. The Mumbai-based franchise can never replace the legendary all-rounder with any player.

1. Suresh Raina

Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina was popular for his spectacular catches and brilliant fielding attempts. The left-handed batter never hesitates to go for a dive while taking a catch and he tops the list with 109 catches in 205 matches he played in his cash-rich league career. Raina went unsold in the 2022 mega-auction and announced his retirement after it.
