Asia Cup 2025: Top 3 underrated fielding heroes

Fielding has become a key aspect in cricket, especially in the shortest format of the game, where every run is crucial. In the early 2000s, teams generally had one or two outstanding fielders in their ranks. However, times have changed, as players take fielding as seriously as the other two facets of the game.

In the 2025 Asia Cup, there are several cricketers who can light up the tournament with their exemplary fielding skills. On this note, CricTracker has a look at three such players participating in this edition of the Asia Cup, who could be considered unsung fielding heroes.

3. Saim Ayub (Pakistan)

Pakistan have historically not been known for having exceptional fielders in their setup. In recent times, Shadab Khan did make a mark. However, in the current team, Saim Ayub is a very good fielder, known for his fitness and agility. He can also cover a lot of ground in quick time and has safe hands as well. The left-handed batter rarely drops catches. In 113 T20 matches, he has taken 50 catches.
