#4 Harbhajan Singh-Rahul Dravid (1999-2011), 51 catches

Second Test - South Africa v India: Day Four
Harbhajan Singh and Rahul Dravid

During a Test career that lasted 15 years, Rahul Dravid ended up with the record for the highest number of catches taken in Test cricket. It came as no surprise when he struck up an excellent partnership with one of India's most prolific bowlers, Harbhajan Singh.

Singh has taken a total of 417 wickets in Test cricket, and Dravid was most frequently his partner in crime. Dravid caught 51 balls off Harbhajan's bowling. He usually fielded at first slip or other positions close to the bat, which made it possible for him to take so many catches off Harbhajan.
