The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been known not only for explosive batting and excellent bowling but also for excellent fielding. In the last few years, the level of fielding in this tournament has increased a lot. The fielders have consistently performed brilliantly in the league and have taken such excellent catches that even the fans have been surprised to see. But do you know who the fielders are who have taken the most catches in IPL history? Today, we will know about the 5 players who have taken the most catches in IPL history.

1. Virat Kohli

This veteran player of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has topped this list by taking 117 catches in 262 matches. Kohli, who has been an integral part of this league since the 2008 IPL and has played only for RCB so far, has consistently demonstrated his agility and safe hands in different fielding positions. His dedication to fitness and excellent reflexes have made him one of the most reliable fielders in the league. Virat Kohli is currently playing for his team, Royal Challengers Bangalore, in IPL 2025, and his catching stats will also increase in the upcoming matches of IPL 2025.

2. Suresh Raina

Known for his agility and excellent fielding, Suresh Raina is second on this list with 109 catches in 205 matches. Raina played for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for most of his IPL career and also represented Gujarat Lions in 2016 and 2017. His ability to take crucial catches sets him apart from other players. Fans in Chennai also call Raina Chinnathala.

3. Ravindra Jadeja

Another icon player of Chennai Super Kings, Ravindra Jadeja, is regarded as one of the best fielders in modern cricket. Jadeja has taken a total of 106 catches in 249 IPL matches so far, which shows his exceptional athleticism, strong hands and ability to take catches in any situation. His presence on the field remains a constant threat to the opposition batsmen. His brilliant catches have become the hallmark of his IPL career. Ravindra Jadeja can break Virat Kohli’s record of taking the most catches in the future.

4. Kieron Pollard

This experienced West Indies all-rounder, who represented Mumbai Indians (MI), was often deployed in the deep and on the boundary line, where his safe hands and ability to take high catches made him a valuable asset for MI. He has taken a total of 103 catches in 189 matches. His height and his reflexes were a joy to watch.

5. Rohit Sharma

Former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma is at number 5 on the list, with 101 catches in 266 matches. Although he often fields in the 30-yard circle, Rohit has proven to be a reliable catcher in crucial situations. His calm demeanour and focus have enabled him to get crucial wickets for his team by taking timely catches. Rohit has not fielded much in the 2025 IPL. And there has been no increase in his catches so far.
