Pollard’s been MI’s most reliable man for years; be it at the mid-off or as a fielder, he can often get some amazing takes in the ring. MI fans know about his long-reaching twangs out in front of the boundary ropes. 

The fibrous fielder with an impressive record of 90 catches in the IPL has so far accomplished a lot for his IPL career. It would seem that regardless of some extraordinary plucks performed in front of the boundary ropes, Pollard’s greatest feat was seen in the IPL 2014 when he completely sacrificed himself to pull off a ripper against RR. The catch was also awarded the best catch of the season.

As far as Raina’s fielding is concerned, it consists of a multitude of everything. The excellent reflexes of this individual will not only enable you to save some of the fine strokes played by a batsman inside the 30-yard circle, but also some brilliant catches played at the slips by other players. As an outfielder, the fans of CSK have reacted with great happiness when Bravo bowled them and Raina caught them in the fielding report for their team. Raina is considered to be one of the best fielders in the IPL right now. As the player who has most catches in the IPL with 104 catches, he holds the record for most catches in the IPL.

5. Dwayne Bravo – Best fielder in IPL history

One particular fielder that stands out among the fielders we have in the game, specifically Bravo, is also well known for taking some astonishing catches and bowls, typically of his own bowling. Besides his elusive skill, CSK fans are also well aware of his robust diving skills and some dazzling saves he has made at the boundary line during matches.
