Fielder of the Month – August

As players, we all know runs and wickets often get the spotlight. But matches are also shaped by those who dive, stretch, and stay alert every single ball. Fielders may not always get the cheer they deserve, but they save runs, create pressure, and turn games with one sharp moment.

This August, five fielders stood out with their commitment and consistency. Each one showed what it means to stay switched on for the team.
