    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, April 11: <\/strong>During the ongoing lockdown in place amid the coronavirus pandemic, ace Indian cricketers M.S. Dhoni and Ravichandran Ashwin have been facilitating online cricket coaching programmes through their academies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to a report in Times of India, the MS Dhoni Cricket Academy -- where the 38-year-old is not directly involved with the operations -- is offering live classes on Facebook for its trainees over the past one week. Whereas Ashwin&#39;s academy is engaging its wards in a range of ways including online sessions with the ace off-spinner himself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The report further says that these online coaching programmes are attracting huge interest given the huge following which the game of cricket has in the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Satrajit Lahiri, a former first-class cricketer and chief coach of the Dhoni academy, says that each video session posted by them is bringing close to 10,000 views across social platforms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Lahiri says they are using an app &#39;Cricketor&#39; wherein they upload their demo drills. &quot;The trainees also need to upload their videos so that we can keep a tab on their activities. We give feedback accordingly.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The batsmen, in these videos, are required to repeatedly throw balls against a wall and play with soft hands. Bowlers, meanwhile, can perform various drills without releasing the ball, monitoring the repeatability of their bowling actions and loading-up positions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Other platforms such has Ludimos and video-calling apps Zoom or Google Classrooms are being used by various other people and coaching institutes to provide online cricket training.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>All cricketing activities remain suspended in the country due to novel coronavirus outbreak which has so far claimed more than 200 lives in the country.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
