Former Indian fast bowler Ashish Nehra has sparked a fresh debate in world cricket by naming Ravindra Jadeja as the greatest fielder of all time—surpassing even South African legend Jonty Rhodes. Nehra shared his views on a recent episode of Star Sports, calling Jadeja the ultimate “complete package” in the field.
Jadeja’s Fielding Skills Leave Everyone in Awe
Nehra praised Jadeja’s all-round brilliance, from lightning-quick throws and athletic dives to match-turning catches. “He dives, he runs, he throws from anywhere and hits the stumps. He catches everything,” Nehra said. According to him, Jadeja’s fielding is built not just on flair, but on elite fitness, awareness, and consistency.

Highlighting Jadeja’s unmatched energy, Nehra said, “I don’t know what he eats or how he trains, but his energy levels are on another level.” He believes Jadeja has redefined what it means to be a fielder in modern cricket, with his impact being felt across formats and tournaments.

Currently representing Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025, Jadeja remains a standout performer. Nehra added that his influence inspires young cricketers and sets a high standard for fielding across the league. Whether it’s a flying catch or a direct hit, Jadeja continues to be a game-changer.
Jadeja Crowned Over Legends
While many still consider Jonty Rhodes the GOAT of fielding, Nehra believes Jadeja has taken that crown. With consistent brilliance and match-defining moments in the field, Ravindra Jadeja, according to Nehra, is now the greatest fielder cricket has ever seen.
