Fielding coach T. Dilip shed light on the unique challenge in a video shared by the BCCI on social media. “One of the challenges we encounter in Dubai Stadium is the lights are slightly different. It's more of a ring of fire which is in the dome basically rather than on the poles, which we usually come across,” he said.
According to multiple reports, several senior players, including former Test captain Rohit Sharma, advocated for Dilip’s return.
Nayar joined the Indian team’s backroom staff after Gautam Gambhir took over as head coach in July last year while Dilip has been part of the set up since Rahul Dravid’s tenure, and was given an extension for another year.
Notably, Rhodes' name was not there in the top three picks for the fielding coach's position with Abhay Sharma and T Dilip being the other two names short-listed along with Sridhar.
