Picking the best fielder in each IPL 2023 team

Fielding is perhaps the most important and yet underrated aspect of the Indian Premier League (IPL). There have been instances where fielding has played a significant impact on a team's performance and results in a match.

There are specific drills that every fielding coach of every IPL team comes up with in order to keep the players sharp. While there are natural athletes in every team, players need to give their hundred percent to make a difference while on the field.

Here, we take a look at the best fielders from each IPL team ahead of this season:

Mumbai Indians – Tristan Stubbs

Tristan Stubbs will be vital for Mumbai Indians

Big things are expected from Tristan Stubbs this season. He is a dynamic batter, one that can change the complexion of the match in the final few overs. Apart from this, he is perhaps one of the best fielders in the format.

Stubbs has already given a glimpse of his fielding when South Africa took on England and he will be one of the key players for Mumbai Indians.
