By means of this World Cup, the behind-the-scenes movies of the fielding awards initiated throughout the Indian dressing room, has been a topic of widespread curiosity. India’s fielding coach T. Dilip, the architect of this motion, spoke in regards to the rationale behind these awards in the course of the course of the post-match press convention on the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium right here on Sunday.
Shortly after India defeated the Netherlands by 160 runs within the World Cup recreation, Dilip addressed the media. Whereas he supplied a guarded ‘wait and watch’ reply when requested about who’s the most recent winner of the fielding medal, he was extra elaborate about different elements linked to fielding and the group. “We’ve got gained 9 matches and we’ve got the momentum. We defeated New Zealand at Dharamshala and we take that as a constructive and as for the semifinal, we are going to take care of it on game-day,” he stated.
What in regards to the awards and the thought behind this idea? “Mainly it’s about judging perspective, sure there are statistics for catches taken however we take a look at the general contribution. An innings has 300 balls, how do you deal with them on the sector. This isn’t nearly one sensible catch, it’s in regards to the general effort. We’ve got been doing this for some time, atleast for the final 4 months, however solely now it has gone on social media, and other people have seen it and it’s heartening,” Dilip stated.
There stays a lingering fear about Mohammed Siraj, maybe the weakest fielder within the unit, however the coach was fast to defend the speedster: “The bowlers are dedicated to fielding they usually work exhausting. There’s nothing particularly flawed with Siraj, he has put his physique on the road usually whereas fielding, proven good perspective and he’ll get higher.”
