IPL 2023: Players with most catches in tournament

Fielding is one of the most important aspects for teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the 15 years of the league, there have been several instances when fielders won the hearts of fans by taking some incredible stunners. There was a time when legendary batters Suresh Raina, Kieron Pollard, and AB de Villers not only used to serve their respective teams brilliantly with their batting talent but also their fielding skills.

In the ongoing 2023 edition of the league, there are some players who have displayed their agility throughout the tournament and have become the best fielders for their respective teams. So far in this year’s competition, their brilliance has helped them to make it to the chart of fielders with the most catches in the season. 

Here are the players with the most catches in IPL 2023

5. Deepak Hooda - 10 catches

For Deepak Hooda, this season was a nightmare as an all-rounder as he failed to provide anything solid to his team, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), in both the batting and bowling departments. With 84 runs and no wickets in 12 matches, he emerged as one of the biggest failures for LSG.

However, one domain where he excelled this year was fielding. While serving Super Giants in the season, he came out as the best fielder for the team with ten grabs. In the 26th game, Hooda also won the Catch of the Match award for taking a stunner just a few inches away from the boundary rope to dismiss Rajasthan Royals’ batter, Dhruv Jurel.

In LSG’s five-wicket over against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 10th match of the competition, Hooda delivered a top-notch fielding performance with his couple of catches to get rid of Washington Sundar and Adil Rashid.
