#6. Martin Guptill:
Martin Guptill is someone who isn't talked about a lot when we talk about fast runners. He is not only known for his aggressive batting, but also he is a great fielder. At times, he surprises the fielders with his speed while running between the wickets. In the ICC world cup, Guptill was silent with the bat, but he was a very effective fielder as he was one of the best fielders of the tournament who saved many runs for his team.
And, of course, who will forget the game-changing direct hit in the semi-final against India. Which helped them to dismiss dangerous Indian batsmen MS Dhoni. After making his international debut in 2009, his running speed is still incredible.
#5. Ravindra Jadeja:
Sir Ravindra Jadeja is arguably the fastest and sharpest fielder in world cricket. The left-hander is a productive batsman, accurate bowler, and gun fielder. He does it all with a calm head. In the Yo-Yo test, he hits the 19 points regularly it.
He is arguably one of the best fielders in the world with his brilliant saves and catches.
We can see how quickly he runs in between the wickets. He has made many unbelievable run-outs with his bullet throw, where he has one stump to aim at. And he never misses a catch.
#4. David Warner:
David Warner is one of the best destructive batsmen. He is also a successful opener in world cricket with his attacking batting. Apart from power-hitting, the left-hander has shown how fast he is between the wickets when taking quick singles.
Last year, against Pakistan in Adelaide, Warner notched up his maiden test triple hundred. He scored 335 not out by staying in the crease for 418 balls. Out of 335 runs, only 162 runs were scored in boundaries and sixes; the rest he ran, which is a testament to his fitness and stamina.
#3. AB de Villiers:
When we talk about this man, the first thing which comes to our mind is his 360° and innovative shots. He is capable of striking the ball clean and long through every side of the ground. But along with his breathtaking hitting ability.
De Villiers runs really quick between the wickets as well. He came into international cricket as a wicket-keeper. Later on, he gave up the job to Quinton de Kock. And then he is transformed into one of the best fielders in cricket with some brilliant catches and runouts.
#2. Virat Kohli:
It is always a close call between Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli. This man needs no introduction. Arguably the greatest cricketer in the world, He is a supremely fit athlete. He is one of the players who play very few dot balls and takes many singles and doubles.
His ability to find the gaps at any stage of the innings and score boundaries. And he is an outstanding fielder. Like Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli clocks the mark of 19-21 in the Yo-Yo test regularly.
#1. MS Dhoni:
The former Indian captain MS Dhoni. When we talk about this man, the first thing that comes to our mind is his Brilliant captaincy and destructive batters. Arguably the fastest runner between the wickets for most of the past 10 years. Dhoni has won many games for India, with his ability to rotate the strike and score crucial singles and doubles.
Despite his tremendous power and strength, Dhoni always relies on singles and doubles whenever the team collapses. Although he is not young anymore, he can still match many youngsters with running between the wickets. He loves to pace his innings accurately in run-chases and waits till the end to launch the ultimate onslaught.
