Better known for his big batting, 'Mr. Cricket' Michael Hussey was not as noticed for his prowess at fielding in ODIs. The Australian took 105 catches in One-Day internationals of 80 matches, and at a better rate, 85 catches in 79 Tests.

He was also able to transfer that catching form to T20Is, which saw him earn success in the Indian Premier League and in more recent years, Australia's T20 Big Bash League. In T20s here, he took 77 catches, starting what would be a successful five-year stint with former champions Chennai Super Kings, who will return to the IPL next season after a two year suspension.

Hussey spent one season at the Mumbai Indians from 2014 to 2015, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, but returned to CSK for the 2015 season. Hussey has taken phenomenal catches on the biggest world stage - including a particularly good one at mid-wicket to dismiss Kevin Pietersen at the 2006-2007 edition of The Ashes.
