At one time the fielding of the Indian cricket team was considered very weak. At that time there were only one or two good fielders in the Indian cricket team. But as time progressed, the fielding of the Indian cricket team improved. Former Indian cricketer and influential Hindi commentator Akash Chopra has considered Ravindra Jadeja the best fielder ever.

Fielding of the Indian team has improved a lot in the last 10 years. The change in fielding started after Mahendra Singh Dhoni became the captain.

If we think about the good old fielders, then the names of Azharuddin, Robin Singh, Kaif and Yuvraj Singh come to mind.

Apart from these few fielders, there was no very effective fielder in the Indian cricket team. Today there are many tremendous fielders in the Indian team. Indian captain Virat Kohli himself is also a very good fielder. Commentator and cricket expert Akash Chopra has considered all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja as the best fielder ever.

During a debate when Akash Chopra was asked about India's best fielder, he said, ‘Ravindra Jadeja is a very exceptional fielder and his throw is like a rocket.
