A few days after Indian all-rounder, Ravichandran Ashwin, pointed out the mislabelling of fielding coach, T. Dilip, on Google (written as “internet personality” previously), the man himself thanked Ashwin for bringing the topic up during a press conference in his hometown.
Dilip recounted a similar instance in which his friend had informed him of the same error that the search engine, Google, had made.
“It was great of Ash to bring up this topic. About a month ago, I was quite surprised when one of my friends typed my name into Google, and it showed ‘internet personality’. I thought, ‘What is this internet personality?’ I’m glad Ashwin mentioned it, and now it’s been corrected to ‘fielding coach.’ As for the celebrity part, I’m not sure about that,” Dilip said with a laugh, as quoted by India Today.

Dilip exuberantly showers praise on Kohli and Jaiswal
Other than thanking the Player of the Match of the first game of the series, he also praised Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal for their respective catches, delving into the core of the dismissals they were involved in close to the bat.
“If you really go deep into that video, you can see that he was standing in the line of the wicketkeeper’s position. That is what we discussed in the training session (to stand closer to the stumps), especially in subcontinent conditions. With Virat Kohli, there is not much difference between the way he practices and the way he plays the game because of the intensity with which he wants to win matches, he replicates that in the practice session.” noted Dilip on Kohli.
“This was one of the best you could have seen. Towards his non-dominant side, the ball was dipping, the batter did not play a defensive shot, he really pushed it. So the ball did travel with a certain pace. To come down low and take it with a single hand was an absolute blinder, especially for a gully fielder,” mentioned Dilip on Jaiswal.

A total of 13 out of Bangladesh’s 20 dismissals across the two innings were caught by fielders. With the second Test to be played on a docile Kanpur track suggested to have low bounce, the Indian fielders will have to bring their A-game to the fore to snag chances presented to them.
