During the 1990s, Team India was considered the weakest teams when it came to fielding with opposition batsman easily able to convert ones into twos. During that period, only two Indian players looked outstanding on the field in terms of taking catches and saving runs. The two cricketers we are talking about is Ajay Jadeja and Robin Singh.
Over the years, things have changed drastically as Team India has become a brilliant fielding unit with players putting their body on the line to stop runs or showing their flexibility while taking catches. Recently, renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle, selected his list of best Indian fielders of all-time.

Robin Singh, Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli.

I think Robin Singh has done enough to be in the list of special mentions, at least. He was more than 100% cricketer when it comes to fielding efforts. Have he been 5 years younger when he made his debut then he would have been the automatic choice. 🙂
