5 Things that have changed drastically in international cricket since the 1990s

#2 India’s fielding

Indian fielding standards have undergone a drastic transformation since the 90s. India used to be a sloppy fielding side, conceding extra runs in the field. With fitness of many cricketers not up to the standards required in the game, India used to give away 10-20 extra runs every match. Though India had some good fielders in the form of Robin Singh and Ajay Jadeja, these two were exceptions rather than the rule in an otherwise poor fielding line up.

The transformation began with the emergence of Mohammed Kaif and Yuvraj Singh and has continued ever since. Such has been the rise in India’s fielding standards that India is currently one of the World’s top fielding side, having some of the fittest players in the game.
