10. David Warner

There are very few fielders in world cricket who are as electric as David Warner. Hardly you will see him give up a chase towards a running ball when getting rushed into a boundary rope.

As a fielder, he has a versatile profile. Not only he can field in slips but is also a vibrant inner-circle fielder. In terms of guarding the boundary fences, Warner has been a reliable commodity and can flawlessly field on any side of the park. For an SRH fan, bowled Bhuvi or Rashid Khan and caught Warner has always been an event of joy in their scorecard.

In his fruitful IPL career, Warner has taken a total of 66 catches. And in terms of his best catches, it was in 2015 IPL wherein against RCB, Warner had plucked a one-handed catch by being completely airborne, flying from covers to take a diving catch.
