Fielding coach praised the team's performance

Before the second ODI, Subhdeep Ghosh said, “We performed well in the first ODI. The players took excellent catches, took wickets and did excellent fielding on the field. The enthusiasm and hard work of the entire team was worth seeing. When you restrict the opposition team to around 180 runs, then along with the bowlers, the fielders also have a big contribution in it.”

Kohli and Rohit's fielding became the talk of the town

In the first match, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma attracted everyone's attention with their excellent fielding. Kohli took an excellent catch and sent the batsman to the pavilion, while Rohit made a brilliant run out.

Praising both the players, Ghosh said that their experience and ability to understand the game makes them different from others. He told that Kohli has been fielding at cover and point for a long time, hence he has a better idea of ​​the direction of the ball and its bounce.

At the same time, Rohit had already sensed the direction of the ball during the run out. Because of this he could reach the right place at the right time.

It is necessary to adapt oneself to foreign fields

Ghosh said that the structure of the field, weather and distance of the boundary are different in foreign countries. In such a situation, players have to change their fielding according to the circumstances. He also described initial movement and right mindset as very important.
