Dubai International Stadium: The Indian team has been fine-tuning its fielding drills to adapt to the unique floodlight setup at the Dubai International Stadium, where the conventional pillar-mounted lights are replaced by high-intensity floodlights mounted around the circular roof.

Fielding coach T. Dilip explained how this “ring of fire” poses a distinct challenge, particularly during high catches on the boundary.

“One of the challenges we encounter in Dubai Stadium is the lights are slightly different. It's more of a ring of fire which are in the dome basically rather than on the poles, which we usually come across,” Dilip said in a video posted by the BCCI on X.
