Former Indian fielding coach T Dilip spoke on his best moment with the team, saying that the silence in the dressing room that followed after their title-drought-breaking T20 World Cup win in 2024 stays with him, as he could sense the hard work that the players had put in over the last few years. Dilip served as India men’s fielding coach from 2021 until the conclusion of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He returned for a second stint during India’s Test tour of the UK in 2025 on a one-year contract but was not retained after it expired. During his time with Team India, he was involved in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, 2026 title wins and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 title win.

The 57-year-old previously served as the fielding coach of the India women’s team for two years, during which he was part of the support staff for the 2022 Women’s ODI World Cup and the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup. He featured in 17 first-class matches and 17 List A games during his domestic career. Subhadeep Ghosh has replaced T Dilip as the fielding coach of the India men’s cricket team ahead of the upcoming two-Test tour of Sri Lanka, Cricinfo reported.
Ghosh has also worked with India A and had a stint as head coach of Assam’s senior men’s team. As a player, Ghosh was a right-handed batter who represented Assam and Railways.
