5 reasons why Suresh Raina is a better IPL player than Yuvraj Singh

#2 Better fielder in the current scenario

Raina is still one of the best in the business

Yuvraj Singh was truly the king of India's fielding in the early 2000s, and was known the world over for his remarkable athleticism and ground fielding abilities. However, deteriorating fitness, and the untimely bout of cancer that held him back, meant that he was not able to remain fully fit, especially in the last few years.

The last two years have seen him go in and out of the team, struggling while fielding, letting go of catches that he would have caught in his sleep.

On the other hand, a fully fit Suresh Raina is a dream on the field, even today; after having spent countless hours in the gym, he is among the sharpest in the middle. And he has plucked some blinders in the IPL.

The overall record also shows a clear difference: Raina has 85 catches from 161 games, that's more than a catch every two games. Yuvraj, in 120 games, has 33 catches.
