Most people think that T20 Cricket is all about hitting the ball out of the park in turbo mode scoring tons posting totals over 200s, and 220ish targets almost every time. Bowlers picking up wickets in the powerplay spin choke in the middle overs, and then bowling pinpoint yorkers in the death overs. These are the most sought-after thoughts that come into every cricketing mind.
However what we as fans and analysts always forget is the role of a fielder, fielding is an integral part of the game of Cricket. A batter will not score a ton in every game, a bowler will not pick wickets consistently game after game, but a fielder will always give his hundred percent in plucking out catches saving boundaries in crucial junctures, saving ones and twos just like what the Australian side did in the ODI World Cup Final Against Hosts India. Great fielding not only helps to win games but also championships.
