With the advent of T20 cricket, fielding has become an extremely important aspect of the game. Fielding is as important to players these days as batting and bowling. These players' athleticism and fitness have pushed the boundaries of fielding forward. All of the current generation players make certain that their efforts on the field are up to par. In this listicle, we will look at the top three catches in the history of the Indian T20 League.

The game was tense, with Bangalore needing six from three balls to win against Kolkata. They had the versatile AB de Villiers at the crease, which increased their chances of winning. Vinay Kumar bowled a length delivery to South Africa, who flicked it to deep mid-wicket by giving himself some space.

Chris Lynn slipped then leapt high and caught the ball before falling straight down, so the ball sailed high but not far enough. He arched his back, kept the ball in the air, and made sure he didn't touch the rope. The way Lynn recovered from the slip and held on to the ball while showing brilliant awareness of the rope's position makes this one of the best catches ever.

2. AB de Villers vs Hyderabad

AB de Villiers is one of the most spectacular fielders in all formats of the game, and he has consistently tried to impress fans with his fielding abilities in the Indian T20 League. ABD took a stunner against Hyderabad in 2018 while playing for Bangalore at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Alex Hales.

Hales hung back and pulled Moeen Ali's short ball on the off side to the deep mid-wicket boundary. AB ran to his right, jumped high, and made a spectacular catch with his right hand. His catch earned him the nickname "Superman."

1. Kieron Pollard vs Rajasthan

Kieron Pollard has revolutionised fielding near the boundary line. Some of his catches, such as the one he took to dismiss Kevon Cooper in the Indian T20 League 2014 game against Rajasthan, are beyond most people's comprehension. On nine out of ten occasions, that ball would have been a six.

Pollard leapt into the air to grab the ball, but he nearly tripped at the boundary. However, he threw the ball back in, fell over the boundary, got up, got back in, and divided forward just in time to catch the ball before it hit the ground. This, without a doubt, is the best catch in the history of the Indian T20 League.
