England is a tough place to catch - Karun Nair
In a recent interview with RevSportz, Karun Nair spoke about India's fielding woes on the England tour and his standout performance as a fielder. He said:
"One second late in sighting the ball can make all the difference. While practicing, it was about recreating those situations and background where the ball can come from and focussing on how would we react when we don’t see the ball as well. I’ve always been someone who has worked on my catching, and being in the slips throughout my career, it has come naturally to me."
