Top 10 best slip fielders at the moment

As mentioned several times by various cricket experts and analysts, fielding is one of the most underrated and underappreciated parts of cricket. “Catches Win Matches” is a phrase used by one and all. Thus, it is safe to say that every team needs good fielders who could field at the toughest of the toughest positions on the cricket field.

However, fielding in the slips is arguably one of the toughest jobs. Slip fielders always have to be at their best as the pace at which the ball comes is really quick. Captains generally have a slip cordon which includes their best slip fielders.

Over the years, we have seen a lot of world-class slip fielders such as Ricky Ponting, Rahul Dravid, and Mark Waugh. However, what about this generation? Who are the best slip fielders of this generation?

In the article, we shall be taking a look at the Top 10 best slip fielders at the moment:

10. Virat Kohli

Is any cricketing list even complete without Virat Kohli? We think not. The Indian captain is good in whatever he does. The batting maestro is a sensational fielder as well.

Although he is good in almost any position he fields, the slips are one of his most preferred fielding position. Since 2015, his catch success percentage as a slip fielder is around 75%. His career catch success percentage as a slip fielder is around 60%.

However, the one criticism Kohli has faced as a slip fielder is his tendency to drop a few sitters occasionally. This has stopped him from being placed higher on this list. Nevertheless, India’s superstar is still one of the best slip fielders.
