5 best slip fielders in world cricket today

#3 Ajinkya Rahane

Ajinkya Rahane has to be the best slip fielder to spinners in modern times. With India boasting of two champion bowlers in Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the longer format, the slip position becomes so crucial.

Since the retirement of Rahul Dravid, India were searching for a safe pair of hands to fill in for him. Rahane has transformed into an amazing slip fielder, taking incredible catches in India's home season of 2016/17.

His bowler-fielder combination with Ashwin has been exemplary, and his success could be hugely attributed to his low and wide stance, helping him take catches inches off the turf. He holds the record for taking the maximum catches in a test, holding onto 8 catches against Sri Lanka in 2015.

He stands at the gully position for the pacers and holds onto most catches that come his way. He is an excellent outfielder too, as he saves vital runs in the limited over formats manning the boundaries.
