Test cricket catch record: Batting and bowling in Test cricket is as important as fielding. Especially when it is a catch, sometimes a catch changes the attitude of the entire match. Talking about such fielding masters, England star batsman Joe Root has now reached the top of this list. Let’s know who is the most catcher player in the history of Test cricket
Joe Root- England
Joe Root set a new record as soon as Karun Nair caught a good catch with one hand during the third Test against India at Lord’s. Now he has got 211 catches in Test cricket. He has done this feat in 156 Tests. His catch is an average of 0.72 per innings and he also has a record of taking up to 4 catches in an innings. Joe Root made his Test debut in 2012.
Rahul Dravid- India
Rahul Dravid, who is called ‘The Wall’ in the Indian team, was the number 1 in this list for a long time, but recently Root has made this record from him. Rahul has caught 210 catches in 164 Tests.
