CWC 2023: Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja amongst top 10 impactful fielders in World Cup; Mitchell Santner no.1

South Africa leads the way in overall team fielding ratings.

New Zealand all-rounder Mitchell Santner has dethroned India’s Virat Kohli as the no.1 impactful fielder in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023. Kohli remains in the top 10 fielders with the biggest impact in the field along with Ravindra Jadeja, who is the only other Indian in the ICC list.

The New Zealand all-rounder only has four catches in six matches at the ongoing World Cup, but his impact on the field hasn't been restricted to taking catches. The experienced Kiwi spinner has made his presence felt in different fielding categories as well.

Santner has saved a total of nine runs in the field for his team and tops the charts for good throws, pressure ratings, and run-out attempts. South Africa's destructive batter David Miller and Australia's David Warner are the closest challengers to his position.
