India Need Cultural Shift To Tackle Fielding Form Slump In T20I, Says R Sridhar
T20 World Cup: Former India senior men’s fielding coach R. Sridhar believes the national team urgently requires a complete cultural shift to address a worrying form slump in the shortest format, while adding that the newbies in the team are arriving ‘undercooked’ in terms of their fielding abilities ahead of their upcoming all-format tour of New Zealand starting on October 22.
As per statistical data from Cricket-21 in T20Is in 2026, India's fielding standards have been in decline. India currently ranks second-to-last among the top 10 nations in catching efficiency at 73.4 per cent -- having put down a jaw-dropping 58 catches. While Indian fielders have saved 129 runs, dropped chances and ground-fielding errors have led to 226 runs being leaked, resulting in a net deficit of 97 runs.
