With the infusion of young blood into Indian cricket and doing away with lazy habits has done a world of good to Indian fielding.
Compared to other Asian players, Indian fielding is miles ahead, though there still lies a great scope for improvement. (They got to catch up with OZ and Kiwis and show much more commitment)
The likes Rahane, Kohli, Raina and Jadeja diving full length and effecting saves is heartening.
The laxmans, sachins and Gangulies weren't exactly good fielders.. It all started with Yuvraj followed by Kaif and now the young guns gave it an all new dimension. It has given more teeth to the lackluster bowling strength and makes India compete with more fancied teams overseas..
India is now a genuine contender and no pretender..
