IPL 2023: Players with most catches in tournament
These players have served their respective teams excellently as fielders, this season.
1. Ruturaj Gaikwad - 16 Catches
Ruturaj Gaikwad has performed fabulously as an opener for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Piling up 564 in 14 innings, he emerged as the second-leading run-getter in his squad, following his teammate and opening partner, Devon Conway. In the inaugural game of IPL 2023, the right-handed batter started his season with confidence, notching up 92 off 50 against Gujarat Titans.
After one and a half months of T20 action, Gaikwad has come out as the most efficient fielder for CSK, as he is ruling the most catches chart of IPL 2023, with 16 catches in 15 matches. Against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), CSK got an eight-run triumph in the nail-biting contest at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. In that game, Gaikwad failed to turn up against bowlers but looked solid on the field and took a couple of catches to remove Mahipal Lomror and Shahbaz Ahmed.
In Qualifier 1 against GT, Gaikwad became the Player of the Match as he stepped up with his bat and delivered a 60-run knock to his team off just 44 deliveries. After exuding confidence with his bat, the CSK stalwart also took a diving catch at deep mid-wicket to get rid of the dangerous Vijay Shankar. For his outstanding stunner, he also got the Catch of the Match award at the end of the game.
