India’s star batter Virat Kohli is one of the most athletic fielders in the cricket world. Kohli covers a lot of ground when he steps on the field and often comes up with fast throws. During a fielding session by coach T Dilip in Perth, Kohli refused to go easy on his teammates.
As the ground are larger in Australia, Dilip conducted drills for easy throws. In a video posted by BCCI, a player requested, saying “thoda easy rakh lo (keep it a bit easy)” to which Kohli respoded “Kyu Karein? Aur kam maaro udhar.”
“The drill is very simple. Whoever throws first will be getting one point. What we wanted to do today was want everyone to get together and closer to the match in terms of what we wanted. So that is why today’s team drill was more related to retrieving where a fielder at the boundary throws the ball to the in-fielder. So instead of one long throw, we wanted to have two flat throws,” Dilip told BCCI.tv.

“We put that into practice so that players know whether to stand towards the left or right so that they are in a proper position and not wasting time in turn. So players on the boundary are also aware that another person is waiting for it so that they can throw the ball in one bounce into the hands.”
