Target hitting with points system. 3 groups led by young captains. Cash reward on the line. Fun, energy and intensity – #TeamIndia gears up for the Melbourne Test with a lively fielding drill with Fielding coach T Dilip,” BCCI wrote while sharing the clip.

Today’s target, you can see three stumps. The bigger stump will have one point, the smaller stump will have two points, the ball in the centre will have four points. We are using angles today. You can see three markers. From each marker, each one will go six balls,” Dilip said.

The key objective for me today was getting all together and making sure that before we kick off into the nets we get some energy going and together as a group when we work its outstanding,” he added.

The winner of this fielding drill was going to win 300 dollars as a prize money.
