IND vs WI: Indian fielders disappointed in T20 World Cup, Team India is at the last position in this shameful list.

IND vs WI, Catch Effeciency of Team India: The performance of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup 2026 has been full of ups and downs. Team India, which had won the title without losing any match in the previous edition, this time seemed to be struggling to maintain consistency even in home conditions. Questions were raised on batting and bowling, but the bitter truth is that the team’s performance on the fielding front has been very disappointing.

In its last match of Super-8 (IND vs WI) India had the challenge of reaching the semi-finals against West Indies. Team India won this match and made it to the semi-finals but the Indian fielder disappointed and he has a very shameful record in his name in this T20 World Cup.

IND vs WI: Important catches dropped against West Indies

During the West Indies innings, Indian players gave life to the batsmen four times, out of which three occasions were direct catch drops. The first chance came in 4.5 overs, when Abhishek Sharma dropped an easy catch of Roston Chase off Jasprit Bumrah. At that time the chase was on 14 runs and later it reached 40 runs.

Abhishek Sharma also caught Rovman Powell off Arshdeep Singh in the 19th over, when he was on 27 runs. Powell returned after scoring 34 unbeaten runs till the end. Both these catches played an important role in giving West Indies a strong position in the final overs.

IND vs WI: Tilak Verma and missed chance of run-out

Between these two drop catches, Tilak Verma also failed to capitalize on a difficult opportunity. Sherfane Rutherford’s catch on Axar Patel’s ball was missed and the ball went straight for six runs. At that time Rutherford was on just 1 run, although he could not play a big innings. Apart from this, in the third over of the innings, Varun Chakraborty also missed a golden opportunity to run out Roston Chase by throwing at the wrong end, when he was on just 1 run. Such small opportunities could have changed the course of the match.

IND vs WI: Worst catching record in the tournament

Team India’s poor fielding record in the tournament was further exposed with three dropped catches against West Indies. In the current T20 World Cup, Indian players have dropped a total of 13 catches so far, which is the highest among all the teams.

India’s catching efficiency has been only 71.7 percent, which is the worst figure among the eight teams that have reached the Super-8. These figures clearly show that if Team India has to remain in the title race, the level of fielding will have to be improved immediately.
