The former New Zealand skipper takes his place on this list courtesy the 21 dismissals he achieved through C&B. Daniel Vettori played 113 Tests for New Zealand in which he took 362 wickets, making him the second-highest wicket-taker for the Black Caps in Test cricket.

Vettori was an efficient bowler who also helped those around him thrive. He was a premier spinner from a country not known to raise too many quality due to the fast pitches over there, but managed to defy the odds in becoming one of the finest spinners of his generation. His precision and composure were of great help to the Kiwis! He was also one of New Zealand's finest captains and a handy lower middle-order batsman.

Vettori was also exceptional in the field. He inflicted 21 caught&bowled dismissals in his Test career which places him high on this illustrious list.
