5 wicketkeepers who are also great outfielders 

1 AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers

One of South Africa's greatest ever batsmen is also one of the most natural athletes to have graced the game in the last decade or so. AB de Villiers started off his life as a professional cricketer as a wicketkeeper-batsman and in fact, used to keep wickets intermittently for South Africa some years ago.

However, his prowess as an outfielder remains unparalleled in modern cricket and it can be argued that he still remains the best fielder in the world, despite being 33 years old.

De Villiers usually fields in the backward point region in limited overs cricket and it is regarded as the toughest position for a fielder in the two shorter formats of the game.

The South African cricketing icon has made the position his own and has taken spectacular catches in the position over the years.

He can throw himself either way as well and stop certain boundaries. Last but not the least, in the slog overs, he is an asset in the deeper areas since he is a very quick runner and has the ability to not only cut off boundaries but also stop batsmen from attempting an extra run.
