5 best Indian fielders of all time

#1 Yuvraj Singh

Having watched the brilliance of the likes of Jonty Rhodes, Herschelle Gibbs and Ricky Ponting in the field for a long time, the Indian fans finally had a fielder who could do what the best modern fielders could in Yuvraj Singh.

He could do everything. Spectacular diving catches at point, running after well-timed shots and stopping them with perfectly times dives, direct hits that often found batsmen short and fast, flat throws from the deep. Yuvraj could do everything as a fielder and throughout his career as an Indian cricketer, he set the benchmark as far as fielding was concerned.

He was the fielder who could change games with a flying catch or a crucial direct run-out and for the better part of his career, Yuvraj often turned out to be matchwinner as a fielder along. Nowadays, he is no longer the livewire that he used to be but for a generation of young Indian cricketers, Yuvraj was the fielder everyone looked up to.

There is no doubt that he is the greatest fielder that India has ever produced.
