5 wicketkeepers who turned out to be good fielders

#2 Brendon McCullum

Brendon McCullum defied the laws of gravity while fielding during his illustrious career.

Being an explosive batsman is never an easy job, especially when you have to open the innings. Brendon McCullum not just did it with ease but was consistent throughout his stint as New Zealand's wicketkeeper-batsman. The former Kiwi skipper was an amazing athlete and took some blinders behind the stumps. He was often effective in pre-determined saves when it came to batsmen playing the sweeps and reverse-sweeps.

However, McCullum had to hang up his gloves after a series of injuries. The man from Dunedin faced a career-threatening situation due to his back problems. While this ruled him out from wicketkeeping, McCullum seemed to be pretty comfortable when stationed in the outfield.

The big-hitter displayed the same athleticism and acrobatic skills even without the gloves. His determination while patrolling the outfield made him a deadly fielder who could surprise teams with his pace and strong throws.
