The name Peter Wellings may not ring a bell immediately, but when it comes to defining new-age sports coaching and how little things like attention-to-detail matter, the Englishman is right at the forefront of it.
"MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli changed the landscape of Indian fielding," Wellings says in an exclusive chat. MS Dhoni started the fielding revolution in Indian cricket, especially after England won a Test series 2-1 in India in 2012. England were much better in the field and Dhoni was really crossed because guys were stopping the ball with their feet and stuff. So he said 'right, we're going to change the culture.'
"And now just look how strong India have become. They've got the best white-ball batsman in the world; they have the best white-ball bowler in the world. And arguably, you've got the best fielder in the world in Ravindra Jadeja. Him and Stokes are probably the two best in the world right now."
