Team India undergoing intense preparation ahead of first Test against Bangladesh
Team India is sweating it out ahead of their opening Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai from Thursday, with players taking part in intense training sessions and friendly competitions. On Monday, team India underwent intense fielding drill, with coach T. Dilip dividing the players into two teams. Indian fielding coach T. Dilip also provided insight into India’s practice session. T Dilip said that Virat Kohli’s team made less errors during catching practice and came out victorious.
“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.
India’s preparations are in full swing given Bangladesh’s historic series win against Pakistan recently.
“Later on, we split two batches, the bowlers and all-rounders split into two stations - where outfield and infield catching were taken care of, along with attacking ground fielding. The second group, which is the batter's group, had slip cordon, standard slip cordon catching, and also short-leg, silly point with some reflexes were taken care of.”
“Overall, I would say it was a fantastic session, considering the conditions, especially in the hot sun, got used to it. But one great part of this team was, irrespective of the conditions and weather, throughout all three stations, the intensity was top-notch,” he added.
