As the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 continues to capture the cricketing world’s imagination, the spotlight is not only on the batters and bowlers but also on the crucial role played by fielders.

India’s fielding performance in the ODI World Cup 2023 has been exceptional. Fielding has played a pivotal role in the Men in Blue’s unbeaten run in the ongoing tournament, showcasing the team’s commitment to excel in all facets of the game.

Whether diving to stop boundaries, taking acrobatic catches, or displaying lightning-quick reflexes in the field, each and every member from the host nation has consistently given their all.

This collective dedication to the fielding duties has not only bolstered India’s defence but has also added an extra layer of pressure on their opponents. As a result, the 2011 ODI World Cup winners stand as a dominant force in the ongoing World Cup edition, and their outstanding fielding display have certainly been a key driving force behind their success.

Raina has picked Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Glenn Maxwell and Glenn Phillips as his favourite fielders at the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023. The latter gave a special mention to Indian spin sensation Kuldeep Yadav, sighting his efforts on the field despite being a bowler.

“I would say Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell. Then you have Glenn Phillips, he has been taking a lot of good catches; caught and bowled. And the most important fielder, Kuldeep Yadav. I think he’s putting a lot of body on the line. He’s been taking a lot of dives. I think, as a bowler, it’s not easy. He’s taking a lot of enjoyment in his fielding,” Raina said in a video shared by ICC.
