India\u2019s fielding coach Subhadeep Ghosh on Friday (November 6, 2026) said short boundaries in New Zealand test fielders by slashing their reaction time but muscle memory helps veterans like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma beat the challenge.<\/p>\n

Ghosh, who took over as fielding coach from the long-serving T. Dilip in August, said his preparation has focused on stability and judgement of the ball.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did well in the first ODI, we got some good catches, ground fielding was good, intensity was good,\u201d he said on the eve of Saturday\u2019s second ODI here. \u201cCatches are part of the game, sometimes we drop some. We are conscious about this, we are taking responsibility. A lot of things are emphasised in practice sessions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn New Zealand, judging the ball is very important, the movement, the stability, these are things we are emphasising in the dressing room,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n

Asked specifically about a brilliant catch by Kohli and a sharp run out effected by Rohit Sharma in the series-opener, Ghosh said the two stalwarts benefit from the muscle memory that comes with fielding at the same position for several years. \u201cIn fielding, one thing that is important is anticipation. Virat reads the situation earlier than other guys. Same for the Rohit run out, he was anticipating the ball. Experience as well as natural talent (goes into making a great fielder) and doing the same thing again and again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ghosh said the fielding practice is being done with a lighter ball to help improve the reaction time of players. \u201cThe lighter ball moves away from you and requires stability,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you play in (grounds with) small boundaries, there is no outfielder, everyone is infielder. The reaction time is less, the boundary is so close,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
