Virat Kohli sets benchmark for every Player
“This guy has shown time and again in split-second decision making. The way he keeps coming, saving runs, putting dives, going for hotspots, you can’t take your eyes off Virat Kohli. He took 2 medals in World Cup. He wanted to be best in the World Cup and he showed that,” said the Indian fielding coach.
“This is the intensity the man gives to the team. He does his job so well and inspires everyone. It is a great opportunity to play alongside him. I would like the other youngsters to and start replicating the half of what he does, the whole team will look different,”
“Well done guys. When we show athleticism in the field with awareness we can make a lot of difference. I give credit to each and everyone,” said T Dilip.
The Indian fielding coach lavished praises for Rinku Singh. “I think your athleticism has been outstanding.”
