Fielding coach Robin Singh said he was happy to see ‘success follow success’ with an improved fielding by Indian cricketers at international level in the past few months.

When pointed out that one was able to see changes in the fielding methods and that many players had given him credit for it, Robin said it was good to get credit from the players as they were the ones to put into action what they learnt.

“They are telling the truth and that is important. Secondly, they must be enjoying. I must accept the appreciation of the players. Batting, bowling and fielding is the key to the success and I am happy working with players and see success follow success,” he said at Chennai domestic airport.

The former India player said he focussed on total fitness and body and mind coordination while honing players’ skills for Tests, ODIs and Twenty20 format.

“I attended to each player, improving his speed levels in running to gather the ball, picking it up from the ground and throwing back to both ends for run-out chances. Players were told how they could target the stump from every position in the field,” he said.

“We wanted to get both (fielding and fitness) together. There were separate schedules and general fitness levels. Fitness of a player as a cricketer as also preparing them for fielding agility and speed and everything that goes with fielding, fitness accuracy and sharp turns were taken into account,” he added.
