Cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle named the three best Indian fielders on Twitter on Wednesday. In his list, he named many skilful fielders who have played for the team over the years. Bhogle named Eknath Solkar in the first place, then followed by former captain Mohammad Azharuddin and Ravindra Jadeja. However, the cricket analyst said that he picked up his favourites on their fielding skills but added that he "cannot look beyond" 'The Wall' Rahul Dravid when it comes to catching purely.

Making a big statement, Bhogle said that it is "also tough to look past Kohli as an all-round fielder". He thanked his fans for the inputs. Since there is no action on the cricket field for the next few days, Bhogle asked his followers to continue with their inputs. 

Twitterati also questioned Harsha Bhogle for not including the names of India's first World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev and Robin Singh.
