Herschelle Gibbs

One of the South Africa's best batsmen of the last quarter of a century was also one of its greatest fielders and even to this day, Herschelle Gibbs is counted among some of the best fielders to have ever played the game. He played all forms of the game and was a complete menace for batting sides irrespective of his position.

Whether he was chasing down balls from going to the boundary or throwing himself around to save runs, he was the complete package as a modern fielder. Throughout his career, he took plenty of absolutely stunning catches to turn the tide of many games but at the same time, he is also (in)famous for perhaps the most memorable drop, when he grassed Steve Waugh's catch in the Super Six game between Australia and South Africa in the 1999 World Cup.
