Catching is one of the most important facets of the game of cricket. It is one of the rare moments in cricket when the bowler and the team is dependent on you to take the catch and dismiss the batter and help their team win matches. As it is famously said , Catches win matches and they are not wrong, if a fielder drops a catch then the opposition batter can score lots of runs after that.
There have been a lot of catches taken by some outstanding fielders in the BBL over the years and there are some easy ones and some astonishing Catches that get taken up to be remembered forever. Let’s look the Top 5 players who have taken the most number of catches in the BBL
1. Glenn Maxwell (62 catches and counting):
