Mats Hummels, Sergio Ramos, Diego Godin, Georgio Chiellini and Thiago Silva are the top 5 in the world. Not necessarily in that order.

It's definitely Pepe. He is one of the reasons why Portugal won the Euros. His presence of mind on the field is something which cannot be described. I say this because he was outstanding this season. He was even in the best top 10 players in Europe this time, and was the only defender on the list. His skills, pace and determination are just indescribable.
Everyone is commenting about Ramos, Boateng, Mascherano and Pique - yeah they are really good, but this year Pepe totally stole the show and proved to everyone that he is currently the best centre-back in the world.

Eric Bailly - last year at Villarreal and this year at Manchester united . He is Fast, technical and too smart on the field. He is undoubtedly the best centre-back in the world.
SK thinks: Sure, he’s quite good, but the best in the world? I think not. He has the time and potential to get there, though.

Hummels is a complete defender - tackling, tactical awareness, strength, aerial threat and a ball-playing centre-back - best in the world right now!
Maitrey Trivedi
Mats Hummel and Jerome Boateng are the best CM duo right now both at club and international level.

Laporte is the best and is still young. He’s a very good ball playing centre back, technically gifted and good at set pieces too.
Ismail Ashfaque
Rob Holding.
SK thinks: I found the Arsenal fan, guys.
Ritankar Chaudhuri
Vincent Kompany.
SK thinks: Currently? Over the last two years, the man hasn’t been able to get off his own bed without getting injured.

If you look at the best 'defensive' player, then I guess Silva and Godin are amazing. But if you want an overall player who plays as a centre-back, it has to be Ramos. He defends really well. He is an amazing captain who can control the team well and when it comes to scoring important goals, he needs no introduction. Champions league finals, semi-finals, super cup finals, he has scored everywhere. So as to the most important defender, it's Sergio Ramos.
Harish Sridharan
There are more Barca and Real fans compared to those of PSG, but Thiago Silva is by far the best defender today. Godin and Ramos are very close behind, while Pique, Bonucci, Chiellini, Koscielny are all great defenders too.
Deependra Singh
Pique is horrible. Ramos far better. Best is Boateng Hummels.
SK thinks: Oh? Did they have a love child I don’t know about?
Arya Siddharth Gupta
David Alaba is the best because he can play any defensive position.
SK thinks: Well he can play any offensive position too, but that doesn’t make him the best.
Üttãm Müdgîl
Boateng because he is the best player in Germany, and Germany are world champions.
SK thinks: Solid logic right there.
Raghav Barthwal
Pique. Because I love Shakira <3
SK thinks: Damn right. Whenever, wherever.
