India, in the modern era, possesses some of the finest fielders.

Two of the finest fielders of the modern era are undoubtedly, Suresh Raina and Virat KohliHowever, according to Jony Rohides, considered the greatest outfielder of all time, neither of these two can be considered the best outfielder of today. Rohides has given the nickname to none other than Ravindra Jadeja.

However, the best fielder in modern cricket, according to him, is Ravindra Jadeja.

“Two of the players I have always admired as fielders are Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja. They are the best Indian fielders, but when I talk about modern cricket, the best fielder is undoubtedly Ravindra Jadeja, who you all fondly call Sir Jadeja,” Rhodes said.

Jonty Rhodes said that the reason he considers Jadeja the best fielder is because he can field at any position, be it mid-wicket, long-wicket or short-wicket. He is so quick with his feet that the batsman is afraid when the ball goes to him. More than his ability to catch or bowl, it is the quick time that Jadeja takes to reach the ball that makes him the best.

“The reason I consider him the best is because he can field in any position. You can put him at mid-wicket, long-on or short cover. He is so quick on his feet that the batsman is afraid when the ball is coming towards him. So more than catching or throwing the ball, what matters in fielding is how quickly you get to the ball. And that is where Jadeja is best,” concluded the legendary South African.
