He has been part of the IPL since 2008 and has played for seven different franchises. Manish has played 178 games, taken 81 catches, and been involved in 16 run-outs as a fielder.
4. Suresh Raina
Former Indian star Suresh Raina was one of the best fielders that India produced in this game. His ability to take unbelievable catches and dive around the field made him a very good fielder. He was someone whom a captain could trust as a fielder in crunch situations. Raina played until 2021 for CSK. He played 204 games, took 109 catches, and made 16 run-outs.
3. Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli is certainly one of the fittest cricketers in the current generation, and he has worked on his fitness to become a brilliant fielder. Whether in the inner circle or at the boundary line, you will find Virat taking some breathtaking catches. That is why he is third on this list. Since 2008, he has played 207 games for RCB and taken 106 catches with 19 run-outs.
2. MS Dhoni
Being a captain, you get many chances for catches and stumpings, and MS Dhoni has been part of the IPL since the beginning. Dhoni has been best at what he does and has most catches and stumpings to his name in the IPL. But when it comes to run-outs, Dhoni has the joint-most overall. In 249 games, he has 142 catches, 42 stumpings, and 23 run-outs.
1. Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja is probably among the best fielders in the current generation. Opposition batters don’t take on him when he collects the ball. He has an incredible arm, and his ability to hit the stumps more often than not makes him a difficult fielder to take on. Jadeja has featured in 225 matches, taken 97 catches, and been involved in 23 run-outs so far in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
