The Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen some of the best fielders demonstrate their skills over the years, and catches play a crucial role in determining a cricket match's outcome in all formats. Fielders have made a lasting impression thanks to their quick reflexes and athleticism, making breathtaking dives and grabs that changed the game. These stunning catches not only get rid of important batsmen but also shift the momentum to the side that is fielding. The IPL's high-intensity action relies heavily on fielding because players continue to raise the bar with each season.

Former RCB captain Virat Kohli holds the top spot with the most catches as a fielder, as of March 2025. He reportedly took 114 catches in 252 matches from 2008 to 2024.
