“I’ve seen many great fielders over the years. There are some who excel in the outfield while others in the inner circle. Jonty Rhodes is widely regarded as the best fielder inside the 30-yard circle. When you talk about all-round fielding, AB de Villiers definitely comes to my mind, but also players like Andrew Symonds and Jadeja. Still, I’d place Jadeja at the top. It’s not just about his age. His skills haven’t changed over the years. It’s all down to his incredible fitness. I don’t know what he eats, but he should share it with us,” he said.
