There is no denying the fact that one day a batsman might not score a run, a bowler might not take wickets, but a fielder will save runs for the team more often than not. No matter how big or small the target is, a team that does proper fielding has a good chance of winning the game. There were countless instances in the past when the fielders made a huge impact on the result of the match. Basic fielding literally changes the complete complexion of the game.

From taking brilliant diving catches to saving a certain boundary, from saving a couple of runs to effecting brilliant run-outs, fielders have been at their best. However, not all fielders have teh similar potential to pull something spectacular. The one player who does all these stunts with such ease is India and CSK all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.

Jadeja is arguably an inspiration to the youngsters. On the other side of the coin, the fans have also seen how a misfield gives the opposition an advantage in crunch situations of the game. Basically, fielding is a fundamental parameter and all the players are supposed to excel in it. 

Poor fielding may also result in unnecessary overthrows. Just now we spoke about how fielding plays a crucial role.
