‘If youngsters can replicate half of what Virat Kohli does…’ – India’s fielding coach T Dilip hails Virat’s intensity | Cricket News – Times of India

The third and final T20I of the series between India and Afghanistan saw a thrilling double 'Super Over' finish, with the hosts eventually clinching the second tie-breaker to sweep the series 3-0. But what the close finish also once again highlighted is the fact that how every run saved in the field can at times determine the outcome of the match. That put into perspective Virat Kohli's brilliant effort in the match, when he saved a certain six with a last-second leap to almost turn it into a catch before he had to throw the ball back into play without touching or crossing the fence.Then in the first 'Super Over', his rocket throw from the deep led to Gulbadin Naib's run-out.The effort in the field won the 35-year-old Kohli 'Best Fielder of the Series' award by the team management and p...

WATCH: Suryakumar Yadav’s tribute to Ravindra Jadeja for best fielder’s medal, ‘Cheetah ki chaal, baaj ki nazar aur Royal Navhghan ki fielding se koi nahi bach sakta’

There were multiple contenders for India’s elusive fielding medal, that’s become a thing at the ongoing ODI World Cup, from their semifinal win against New Zealand. KL Rahul was one. Those fine takes behind the stumps made his claim big. “Sir, just give me the medal,” he’d say out loud to India’s fielding coach T Dilip as he orchestrated the post-game ceremony. Suryakumar Yadav, who’d won in the last game, had also taken the all-important catch of Kane Williamson at the boundary to pull India back in the game. But there was only one ‘human magnet’ – as he was nomenclatured by Ian Smith on the comms – for India. Ravindra Jadeja sure did seem like one as he held on to a hattrick of catches in the win at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Handing him the medal, Suryakumar Yadav paid a Boll...

Though he continued to keep wickets in the age-group level, Rahul the batsman began to move out of the wicketkeeper’s shadow.

It’s never easy to come back and field at short leg after batting for nearly one and a half day: Fielding coach T Dilip praises Yashasvi Jaiswal’s catch in 1st Test

While everyone is talking about Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 171-run marathon innings against the West Indies, Indian fielding coach T Dilip shed light on the catch which the youngster took to dismiss Windies debutant Alick Athanaze in the second innings. “Most impressive catch I felt was Yashasvi Jaiswal in short leg. I think there are a couple of important things to be noted in that catch. Firstly, he kept himself really low. That’s a first sign to be a good short leg fielder. I think he has done really well on that. But what I really liked was that when you look at his batting. He scored 171 and he was on the field for nearly one and a half day.
