T. Dilip, India's fielding coach, talked about an idea of a competitive fielding drill he brought for the side's practice session on Monday ahead of the Test series opener against Bangladesh in Chennai, saying the thought behind this exercise was to get the whole team involved in it. “Today's whole session's idea was to get everyone together as a team drill, where we have two segments to it, the first segment was the competition drill, taking into consideration the humidity at Chennai. We made sure that the volume is less, but the intensity is taken care of. So we split it into two groups and had some little competition among catching, and the less number of errors is the team which won, and today it was Virat's team which has won today,” said Dilip in a video posted on BCCI's X account.
