In the late 90s Mark Taylor. IN the last 15 yeasr there are so many god slip catchers. Ben stokes has pulled off some remarkable catches. Andrew strauss another one.  Steve smith is an insane slip catcher. Ross Taylor is another guy.  From India Rahane has to be at the top. Terrific balance. Took all kind of catches

Azhar was at point. Slip cachin requires sharp reflexes athleticism. Also in Australia taking slip catches in those days were difficult as the ball comes at your rapidly.  Azharuddin, Jadeja took some great catches. But we can't compare with them in the slips. Dravid, Rahane are some of the best slip catchers we have had.  Sunny G was good too. Taking catches one handed with your wrong hand under pressure is quiet incredible. ANd this guy is 36 or something.

Azhar was not great at slip? :)

No Indian is as good as Australian in the slips.  Azharuddin mostly stood at point. He was not a regular slip catcher for one thing. India's best slip fielders are Dravid and Rahane.  Rahane is a bit more versatile where he can dive while taking the catch.
