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. Citing KL Rahul's direct hit to dismiss an on-song Litton Das during the T20 World Cup in Australia which helped India halt Bangladesh's charge and clinch a narrow win, Dilip said the team seems to have improved in that area. "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.
