As mentioned earlier, being a slip fielder in Indian conditions isn’t easy due to the amount of spin. Similarly, the conditions in Sri Lanka are spin-friendly and thus, it is really hard for the slip fielders in Sri Lanka to do well. Despite this, Dhananjaya de Silva’s fielding skills in the slips have been superb, to say the least.

Despite the ball turning square in mostly all the pitches in Sri Lanka, de Silva has still managed to pick stunners while fielding in the slips. He has a catch success percentage of more than 90% since 2015. It gets shocking when you realize that he manages this alongside his batting and bowling.

You know how good Dhananjaya has been as a slip fielder when his stats as a slip fielder are better than the likes of Virat Kohli. Since 2015, there haven’t been too many slip fielders having a better catch success percentage than him. Thus, he remains one of the best slip fielders currently.
