In this article, we will talk about the top 5 fielders with the most catches in the T20 World Cup.

5. Kane Williamson (New Zealand)

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson has taken around 16 catches in 29 matches. Kane, who is known for his classic batting, is a great fielder too, and his fielding has affected the match result many times.

The right-handed top-order batter once took 3 catches against Bangladesh in Match 5 of the 2012 T20 World Cup. All of his catches were crucial because he caught Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Mahmudullah, which helped the Kiwis restrict Bangladesh to 132 runs.

The former opening batsman of New Zealand, who was a consistent performer with the bat for his team, was a gun fielder too. He took 19 catches in 28 T20 World Cup matches.

2. AB de Villiers (South Africa)

Former South African captain and one of the most entertaining batters, AB De Villiers, took 23 catches in his T20 World Cup career from just 25 innings.
