For every good bowler in the game of cricket, there needs to be an equally tremendous fielder who can grab the opportunities in the formꦡ of catches, Irrespective of the formats.

In Test cricket, the best catchers are usually place🥂d in positions like slips, point, gully. While in the limited-over formats, the best fielders are spotted showing their skills at long-on, long-off, deep mid-wicket positions. One caꦕn easily say that fielding is a key aspect of cricket and the quality of a top side relies a lot on it.
