Fielder of the month: top grassroots fielders who ruled September 2025

We all talk about runs and wickets, but sometimes the real game-changers in grassroots cricket are the ones diving in the dirt, stopping boundaries, and taking those sharp catches. The ones who never switch off, even for a second.

This September, five fielders from across grassroots cricket proved just how important this part of the game is. Their focus, energy, and commitment made the difference for their teams — ball after ball, match after match.
