Who is the best Indian ground fielder ever? Jaddu?

[sourab10forever]

Not only catching,but also including ground fielding and manning the boundaries...who is the best indian fielder ever? I would say jaddu..most dominating indian guy on field in terms of attacking the ball and forcing run-outs...saves a lot of runs.

I know it's tough to compare older generations with the current because of the huge improvement in standards of fielding and the quality of outfield/madical care available which allows fielders to dive around with ease and tension free...still...

Rahane for me. Better catcher

Would also like to mention eknath solkar.

That dude used to field in front of batsman at silly point right in their face without any protective gear.

Don't know if that counts as ground fielding. But prassana Chandrasekhar bedi all said solkar reduced their bowling averages

its jaddu .. best outfielder as well , and is thrown travels like a tracer bullet

 

 

[putrevus]

Azhar would be the best all round fielder India ever had, he could be awesome in slips, silly point and also could fielder anywhere in field and had good arm if not rocket arm.

Jaddu is good, but Azhar in his pomp was just as good.

Akash Chopra was brilliant too as a close-in fielder.

Can't match jaddu. He lacked those direct hits.

[Sandeep99]

Jadeja followed by Raina and Kaif. The way they cover the cricket field with such ease is amazing..

 

As far as catches are concerned - Azhar, Dravid, Rahane are easily the best.. (I heard about Solkar but the list is strictly from whatever cricket I saw)..

[jusarrived]

Jadeja > Raina >>> Kaif 

[express bowling]

So many really good fielders nowadays.

 

Different players excel at different positions.

[nevada]

Sir Jaddu does the kind of fielding which makes you think he is worth a spot for that alone. From yesteryear, Robin Singh was a terrific fielder - diving, catching, stopping runs at 33-36 years of age. Too bad we never got to watch him in his prime.

[Temujin Khaghan]

will never forgive him for messing up the crucial catch of cook in England series
