Most Catches In IPL

Catches are a non negligible part of cricket. Sometimes an important catch of an in-form player changes the match in the bowling team’s favor. In the same way, if someone misses a catch at a vital moment of the match then the opponent snatches the game away from the bowling team. Hence catching is as significant as bowling and batting in cricket. In the Indian T20 carnival, each year we see some players give an insight into their acrobatics and fitness through great catches.
