T20 WC: ‘Catching Will Play A Big Part In The Business End,’ Says Morkel On India’s Fielding Concerns Ahead Of Super 8s
T20 World Cup: India bowling coach Morne Morkel has admitted that catching will be crucial in the decisive stages of the T20 World Cup 2026, as the Suryakumar Yadav-led side looks to tighten up its fielding after a series of dropped chances in the tournament so far as they march towards Super 8s where the Ben in Blue will face the 2024 World Cup runner ups, South Africa at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.
Despite their batting and bowling units performing consistently, the defending champions’ fielding has emerged as an area of concern heading into the knockout rounds.
The hosts have been sloppy in the field during the group stage, dropping nine catches in four matches, which is the second-highest among the 20 teams. Only the Ireland cricket team has recorded more dropped catches (10), while the Namibia national cricket team is third with six.
