In the ICC World Test Championship (WTC), not only batting and bowling but also excellent fielding is seen. In this long format tournament, many players have changed the course of the match with their catching skills. If we look at the statistics, Australia’s star batsman Steve Smith is seen at the top of this list.
Steve Smith – Australia
Steve Smith has played 57 matches in the World Test Championship between 2019 and 2025. He has taken a total of 114 catches in 110 innings of these matches. That means on average more than one catch in every innings. His best performance in a match has been 5 catches. His quick reaction and strong grip in the slips make him different from other players.
Joe Root – England
England’s experienced batsman Joe Root is at second place in this list. Root has taken 105 catches in 137 innings of 71 matches. His catch per innings average has been 0.766. Joe Root is often deployed in the slip and infield and proves to be a reliable fielder in times of pressure.
Jack Crawley – England
England’s opening batsman Jack Crowley is at third place in this list. He has taken 59 catches in 54 matches between 2020 and 2025. His catch per innings average in 103 innings has been 0.572. Despite being young, Crawley has shown continuous improvement in fielding.
Aiden Markram – South Africa
South African captain Aiden Markram is at number four. He has taken 55 catches in just 33 matches, which is quite impressive in itself. His catches per innings average is 0.873, which shows how effective a fielder he has been even in less matches. His fielding in slip and cover has often proved to be match-winning.
Ben Stokes – England
England all-rounder Ben Stokes is at fifth place in this list. He has taken 55 catches in 114 innings of 59 matches. Although his catches per innings average is 0.482, his catches taken at difficult times have turned the tide of the match many times.
