It is widely said in cricket that “Catches win Matches” and many instances have proven this statement right. Let’s take the example of the most infamous catch in the history of cricket when Herschelle Gibbs dropped Steve Waugh’s catch at mid-wicket in the 1999 World Cup, had he taken the catch who knows, South Africa might have gone on to win the tournament.

Cricket has produced some great fielders over the years, the likes of Johnty Rhodes, Yuvraj Singh, Mohammed Kaif, Paul Collingwood, Andrew Symonds, etc. have graced the field of cricket with some great catches which have eventually helped their team to win the match.

A present lot of cricketers is said to be the fittest generation of cricketers till date and have taken the standard of fielding to the next level.

Let’s have a look at some of the great catches in 2017.
