Currently the IPL is on song. After the conclusion of the World Cup 2011, IPL fever has begun and will continue till 28th May. So let us have a look at a record from the IPL books. This time it is most number of catches in an IPL innings.


Three players top the chart. They are as follows:-
Sachin Tendulkar took 4 catches playing for Mumbai against Kolkata in 2008.
David Warner took 4 catches playing for Delhi against Rajasthan in 2010.
Jacques Kallis took 4 catches playing for Kolkata against Deccan Chargers in 2011.


As far as most catches in a series is concerned, the record is still with AB de Villiers. He took 13 catches playing for Delhi in the IPL 2009.

This time we have cricket records of Most Runs scored in Test career. Surviving for a long test career requires patience, perseverance, hard work and every single quality that is essential to be a good cricketer. Sachin Tendulkar heads the list of highest runs in test career. 
Sachin Tendulkar has scored more than 14,000 runs in Test cricket. He is followed by Ricky Ponting who has 12,000 plus runs. They are followed by Brian Lara (11,953) and Rahul Dravid who has scored 11,500 plus runs.

I have not mentioned the exact runs of Sachin, Ponting and Dravid as they are still playing International test cricket and their stats will change with every match they play.
