Fielding:
Most dismissals (10 or more):
Led by four wicketkeepers, of whom only Dhoni played in 2017. Sangakkara has the most dismissals (33), stumpings (5) and catches by keepers (28). M. Jayawardene has the most catches (15) by a non-keeper. BB McCullum and Dravid played several matches as keepers and non-keepers.
Best innings fielding (4 or more dismissals):
Buttler is the only one with 6 dismissals, though the lesser-known DO Obuya of Kenya has the most stumpings (3). NL McCullum and GJ Maxwell have each taken 4 catches as fielders, while Sarfraz Ahmed had the best innings performance for keepers in 2017.
Dismissal rate: Minimum 15 innings, rate 0.400 and above:
Sangakkara has the highest dismissal rate followed by Dhoni, while DJ Bravo has the highest for non-keepers. Shoaib Malik has the highest rate among current non-keepers
All-round performance (note the criteria):
JH Kallis is the only consistent all-rounder, with a much better performance than the other contender Shahid Afridi.
All-round match performance (30 runs and 3 wickets in a match):
The best performances were by Tendulkar and Kallis (in a match-winning role in the 1998 final). Gayle and R McLaren probably had the next best performances.
No one achieved this in 2017. The last to do this was RS Bopara in 2013, who ended up on the losing side in the final.
Thus concludes our study of the statistical highlights of the Champions Trophy up to 2017. With luck, it will be revised in 2021.
