# Joe Root
The English test skipper has one of the safest pair of hands in world cricket today. He usually stands in the 2nd slip to the faster bowlers, and has taken many splendid catches in the past year or so.
The key to his success is staying low and watching the ball till the last moment without taking his eyes off.
He also has amazing reflexes, and is always aware of the situation. He has taken 132 catches across all formats, with most of them coming in tests.
Being the champion batsman that he is, Root's catching ability is second to none in world cricket at the moment and with the Ashes down under starting sooner, he will be eager to get a jumpstart.
