#2 Most catches in a World Cup career - Ricky Ponting (28)

Ricky Ponting

Along with the runs you score and the wickets you take, fielding plays a key role in the success of a team.

We have been privileged enough to witness some of the greatest fielders in the game take part in the World Cup, including Australian legend Ricky Ponting. His hand-eye coordination enabled him to grab the toughest catches and hit the stumps from any position on the ground.

In the 2003 World Cup, Ponting took 11 catches which is a record for most catches in a single World Cup. In addition to this, he also holds the record for grabbing 28 catches in the World Cups he has played which is the highest in tournament’s history.
