Pro Tips and Tricks

Want to dominate the fielding rankings? Here are some insider tips from top players:

1. Master the Dive Timing

The difference between a spectacular save and a missed opportunity often comes down to dive timing. Practice diving just as the ball passes you to cover maximum ground.

2. Use the Environment to Your Advantage

In street cricket mode, obstacles can work both ways. Use walls to bounce throws to the stumps or position yourself near objects that can block difficult catches.

3. Specialize in a Position

While being versatile is good, becoming a specialist in one position (like slip or deep square leg) can make you invaluable in team games.

4. Watch Real Cricket

Study how professional fielders position themselves and move. Many techniques in Dhobi Ghat Fielding Legend are based on real cricket physics.

5. Participate in Daily Challenges

These not only help improve specific skills but also reward you with in-game currency and rare customization items.
