Exclusive interview of Mohammad Kaif with CricTracker-
First question: How was the match?
Answer: I think the way Morne van Wyk played was amazing to watch. It was a tough pitch, day match. He kept wicket for the first 20 overs, then opened the innings and finished the match. So, so far in this LLC I have not seen such a great innings.
Second question: What changes have you seen in the fielding of the team after T. Dilip came to India?
Answer: They are doing a very good job. They have a big role. Suryakumar Yadav took a catch in the T20 World Cup, which was the turning point. So they have done a very good job and the level of fielding has gone up. The Indian team has performed well.
Third question: According to you, who are the top-2 fielders of India?
Answer: India is the world champion, Ravindra Jadeja is among the top-2 fielders of India. Jadeja has become an even better fielder with age. People say that with age you become slow, but Jadeja is a perfect example that if you focus on fitness, your performance improves, his fielding has improved. The second name I will take is Rishabh Pant, as a wicketkeeper, I have never seen Rishabh Pant drop a catch.
