Mohammed Azharuddin and Allan Border are regarded highly for their fielding. Azharuddin holds the world record for most catches in ODI’s. He has 156 catches in ODI’s. Slip fielders such as Mark Taylor and Mark Waugh generally lead in test rankings (the two have 181 and 157 catches in test matches respectively). Azharuddin rarely fielded in first slip position. He excelled in Gully.
