The fielder at silly point stands very close to the batsman, typically to catch balls that are played with soft hands or to put pressure on the batsman.
· This position is considered "silly" due to the high risk of injury, as the fielder is very close to the batsman and in the direct line of powerful shots.
· The role of the silly point fielder is crucial in situations where the fielding team is looking to apply pressure on the batsman, especially in Test matches where close-in fielders are used to create catching opportunities off spin bowlers.
