Top 10 slip fielders of all time

#8 Carl Hooper

It’s really important to stay cool and calm in the slips and West Indies had one of the coolest cricketers in the slips during the late 1980s and 1990s. He remained unfazed regardless of any situation or any bowler and used to go about his business without much of a fuss in the cordon.

Fielding in the slips to bowlers like Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh is never easy, Hooper did that almost throughout his career but always went unnoticed. With 115 catches in Tests, Hooper is the third-most successful West Indian fielder.

#7 Mohammad Azharuddin

The former Indian captain is one of those cricketers who could field anywhere on the ground and still be effective. His catching technique was brilliant and he was very sharp in the field.

Diving catches on either side, low catches or straight-forward ones, Azhar never made a fuss about anything in the field. He used to set an example for rest of the fielders.

In his 99-Test career, he took 105 catches and 156 catches in 334 One-Day Internationals, making him one of the best fielders in the world.
