Australia v England - Game 3

Though he has tarnished his reputation because of the recent ball-tampering saga, there was never a doubt about his cricketing abilities. The former Australian skipper is one of best when it comes to stealing runs and has an uncanny knack of getting ones and twos. He is always a fielder to watch out for because of his pace and quick reactions.


#5 Hardik Pandya

He is one of the very few players who can even think about going head to head with Dhoni in a 100m race. BCCI published a video in its twitter page which showed Dhoni and Pandya competing in a quick 100-meter race. Though Dhoni won the race, it was only by the smallest of margins. Arguably India’s best fielder in limited-overs cricket, Pandya is also super quick between the wickets.
