Sydney: India has produced a number of brilliant fielders in the last decade and a half with names like Yuveaj Singh and Mohammed Kaif earning a lot of praise for their sharp reflexes. Under Dhoni’s leadership, the Men in Blue transformed into one of the best fielding sides in the world with now skipper Virat Kohli, veteran Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja being the top performers.
Former Australia spinner Brad Hogg was asked to choose India’s best ever fielder and he went with Jadeja who has been brilliant in the recent past.

During an interaction of Twitter, he was asked to choose between Kohli, Jadeja, Yuvraj and Raina when it comes to fielding and Hogg replied - “All four are brilliant, would love to bowl having them all in the inner ring, but Jadeja for me. #hoggytime”.
Speaking to a leading news agency, former India trainer Ramji Srinivasan had spoken about how Jadeja loves doing a lot of running exercises and avoids lifting heavy weights.
"He doesn't do weights at all. Look at his throws. He loves running and sprinting and the gym training is just basic. Jaddu is one of the best in the business and you have your answers there. Again, it is not wrong to do heavy weight training but one wrong movement and you are down with injuries," he had pointed while discussing the importance to exercise as per body needs.
Earlier, Hogg believed that Nathan Lyon had improved a lot in the last few years and thats why he is a better off-spinner than Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket in current times.
“I feel Lyon has taken the mantle from Ashwin over the last year just as the best off-spinner, but I love the way both continue to improve their games and not be complacent where they are at,” Hogg had said.
Ashwin has so far picked 365 wickets from 71 Tests while Lyon has 390 wickets to his name from 96 Tests.
