I grew up watching Mohammad Azharuddin, Ajay Jadeja, and Robin Singh field for the Indian team. They were the ones who completely changed the way Indian fielders moved on the ground. It was truly the start of a new fielding era for us.

However, if we look at who changed the perception of fielding on a global scale, it wasn’t them. So, who was it?

Think back to the 1992 Cricket World Cup in Brisbane. There was an iconic, horizontal, flying dive from backward point to run out Pakistani batsman Inzamam-ul-Haq.

Then, fast forward to 1998 at Edgbaston during the Emirates Triangular Trophy. Another unbelievable, flying catch sent England’s Robert Croft back to the dressing room.
