Ranking top 10 fielders in IPL history

3. Suresh Raina

Along with being a 5000 run bank in the IPL, Raina can also be termed as the safest pair of hands in the CSK contingent. Wherever he stands inside the park he becomes a whizz-kid whose constantly looking to get the feel of the ball in his hands. That’s the reason why we regularly see him taking a shy at the stumps. 

Raina’s fielding is a multitude of everything. His reflexes will not only make you save some of the exquisite strokes played by a batsman inside the 30-yard circle but also some splendid grabs being taken at the slips. As an outfielder, time and again the CSK fans have rejoiced the statement of being bowled Bravo and caught Raina in their team’s fielding card. 

Raina in his elongated IPL career has taken more than a hundred catches (101) making him completely apt in this ball catching activity. In terms of picking his best catch then there’s a realm which needs to be supervised. But his one-handed grab in the IPL 2016 against KKR while standing at the slips where he had to be as flexible as a spring to catch the flying ball is surely one of the best takes exhibited by him. The grab was also declared as the catch of the season.
