India's Direct-Hit Conversion Ratio Has Improved: Fielding Coach T Dilip
The Indian fielders have improved in leaps and bounds in terms of successful ratio of direct hits even though some of those didn't turn into run-outs, said fielding coach T Dilip.

"There are certain areas where we have certainly improved over a period of time. If you look at the number of direct-hit percentage in the World Cup and that one direct hit from KL Rahul changed the course of the match," Dilip told the media after India's optional training session here at the Wankhede Stadium.
