Indian team dropped catches since 2019 WC

Excludes the dozen drops in the most recent matches. When will someone tell Rat fielding isn't a function of how many abs someone has?

Dhawan only 2?  I swear I saw him drop 2 catches in the same game recently, Pretty sure he has dropped a billion chances before, May be because he was injured for the most part of 2019 after WC

Iyer at 3 and he doesnt even play one format unlike pant n kohli - show this to sunny g who kept repeating that iyer is a very very very good fielder

CricViz analysed the performance of the slip fielders in terms of catches taken in the longest format of the game in last 10 years. And it has turned out that former South Africa skipper Graeme Smith has managed to grab 89.2% of the catches that came his way. The list includes a total of 19 players including Smith who have taken 30 or more slip catches since 2010 and India skipper Virat Kohli has dropped most among them.

 

He has managed to get hold of 63.6% of the catches in the slips while he shelled the rest of them. While Kohli’s ground fielding is exceptional, his catching, according to this analysis, is not great.

Incomplete analysis without knowing how many times each got a catchable ball.  If Kohli got 50 catchable balls and dropped 13, whereas Jaddu got 4 catchable balls and dropped all 4, Jaddu is much worse.  Like @Tibarn said, % caught is more informative.  Also, there should be some clear definition of what a catchable ball is.

This thread must be made sticky and should go on top of the section. Posters can constantly update and check on the stats often.

Pakistan's catching has massively improved in recent times while our catching has completely gone down the drain

Kohli and Pant on top, leading the way.

What do you mean? He's leading by example here, drops catches/series/trophies - see the pattern

That's a misleading stats because India's bowlers are creating more chances, while Pakistani kids are getting baccha-baazied all over the place.

Without proper denominators, these stats are meaningless.  

 

6 easy catches came my way.  I took them all.  100%.

8 catches came your way.  4 were tough.  4 were easy.  You took total 6 out of 8.  75%.

 

Am I better than you?

In cas of Kohli he drops dolly especially if we consider last few tours. Sometimes he takes absolute blinder but drops dollies . Point is if you are great fielder you should not drop dollies atleast.

[Stan AF]

We can all agree that Kohli drops the most. He's an abysmal fielder.
