ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is going to be played in India. There is still a month left for it to start, but before then, the Indian cricket team’s statistics are very poor in one area. Although Team India is ahead in batting and bowling, but in terms of fielding, the team is ranked 9th. Afghanistan is named after India.
If statistics are to be believed, the Indian cricket team has shown 75.1 percent catching efficiency since World Cup 2019. India is ranked 9th in the top 10 teams. India is followed by Afghanistan with a catching efficiency of 71.2 percent. Thus, if the Indian players had 100 catches, only 75 of them were caught.

After Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli and then Ishan Kishan took an easy catch. Team India will have to improve on this before World Cup 2023, as catching is important.
