5 wicketkeepers who are also great outfielders 

4 Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson

The highly talented wicketkeeper-batsman from Kerala has been touted as a potential future Indian star for quite some time, however, he has only been able to feature in one T20 international so far.

That said, he has been a regular in the IPL for several seasons now and nowadays, he often plays as a regular batsman for the Delhi Daredevils. In the recent IPL seasons, Samson has shown that he is as much as an asset in the outfield as he is on the outfield.

Samson brings his extreme athleticism to his fielding that is his strength as a wicketkeeper and in addition to that, his fielding the deeper areas in the field has been quite extraordinary on some occasions.

Samson is a quick runner and can cover a lot of ground and his throws from the deep are often deceptively quick. He is one of the few wicketkeepers in the world, at the moment, who has shown such excellence in the field.
