Fielding that changed the course of the game in IPL

Image result for catches of ipl — Fielders put their best effort.

Fielding is one of the most significant aspects of cricket. The best teams in the world not only take the catches that come their way but convert the half chances too. Be it any form of the cricket; it is rightly said that: "Catches win matches."

For instance, in 1999 World Cup, former Proteas player Herschelle Gibbs dropped a catch of the Australian captain, Steve Waugh. When he dropped the catch, Steve Waugh articulated saying "You just dropped the World Cup mate." Australia won that match and eventually won the World Cup also.

Especially in T20 cricket, every single run and every single wicket matters. Fielders give everything from their side to pull off a catch or a run-out. Everyone knows how valuable a catch or a run-out can change the course of a game.

Let us look at some IPL matches where fielding, great or poor, changed the momentum of the game.
