If I have a search query like below:

query: {
          multi_match: {
            query: searchQry,
            fields: ["field1", "field2", "field3"],
            fuzziness: 2,
            fuzzy_transpositions: true,
          },
        },

How am I able to apply fuzziness only on selective fields such as "field1" or "field2" or "field1" and "field3" instead of all of them, which is the standard behaviour?

Using MultiMatch is not possible.

You can mix multi-match with matches with separated fuzziness.

Example:

{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "should": [
        {
          "multi_match": {
            "query": "xpto",
            "fields": [
              "field1",
              "field2"
            ]
          }
        },
        {
          "match": {
            "fiedl1": {
              "query": "xpto",
              "fuzziness": 1
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "match": {
            "fiedl2": {
              "query": "xpto",
              "fuzziness": 2
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
