8. Ajinkya Rahane:
After the retirement of Rahul Dravid, India were in search of a good close-in fielder and one can say that they have found the perfect replacement in Ajinkya Rahane. His flexibility and ability to hold on to sharp catches in slip area has made him one of the finest fielders in the team right now. He also has the world record of most number of catches in a Test to his name after taking 8 catches against Sri Lanka.
