IPL 2025: Kohli, Pandey, Agarwal Among India’s Finest Fielders, Says RCB Fielding Coach
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: With the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) sealing their berth in the playoffs of the Indian Premier League 2025, fielding coach Richard Halsall believes fielding, while often overlooked, is the difference between winning and losing in modern cricket.
Halsall, known as ‘Stick’ within the RCB camp said, “Fielding is the area of the game that probably gets talked about the least. But in T20 cricket now, there are very few hiding places. You are trying to shorten that moment of fear or panic when the ball’s coming at you and be able to execute your skill. That ability comes only through focused training.”
Among the best fielders he has worked with, Halsall names Andrew Flintoff and Paul Colingwood, and from India, players like Virat Kohli, Manish Pandey and Mayank Agarwal. He said, “They all have different strengths, but there’s a joy to their fielding. That’s what I look for.”
