Sarfaraz Khan captains Virat Kohli, Mohammed Siraj leads Rohit Sharma for a shot at winning $300 cash prize

Hindustan Times  

With the Border-Gavaskar Trophy interestingly poised, Team India players are going through their drills to ensure they are on the mark when the 4th Test against Australia starts December 26 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Two days ahead of the MCG Test, Melbourne is slightly overcast, and hence, to prep the fielders up for what promises to be a highly engaging Test match, fielding coach T Dilip organised a new and unique fielding drill, with a cash prize of 300 dollars to be won. Trust T Dilip to come up with the idea of something like Virat Kohli reporting to Sarfaraz Khan Dilip set up three targets – two big stumps, two small stumps and a ball placed in the middle. To make things even more interesting, the players were divided into groups of three, with Sarfaraz Khan, Mohammed Siraj and Dhruv Jurel appointed captains. Just last month, before the Australia Test series opener in Perth, Dilip organised a fielding session where players pitted against each other, which he claimed strengthened the team's bonding exercise.
