^^ @dial_100 I don't think even SRT/RD read the balls by peeking into bowlers' minds. That is a lot of BS even if they said it. Batting is generally see ball being delivered, see where it pitches and hit ball. One can make out from how the ball is delivered for inswing or outswing, legbreaks etc. Once pitched, they could react faster with superior hand-eye coordination. Plus we need develop skills to play from pitch for seam, swing and bounce. It comes from practice and muscle memory. One dances down the pitch premediated doesn't know where the bowler is going to pitch and gives away the advantage of reading from the pitch.'

Some basic mind reading is to expect a yorker after a couple of bouncers.

^^ Dont entirely disagree with you but still I will go with the guys who scored 12K+ runs for us. It is not that they read the minds but observing the patterns, your physical traits etc. These are very minute things but if you discern them out for 1 bowler, you have 1 less thing to worry about. 

 

Hand-eye coordination worked for few times and dint so much at other times. They should learn to figure how bowler plans inswing vs outswing from their runups/foot stepping. you wont get it 100% of the times but it will give you good 25% of deliveries with some lead time. How SRT did was, he observed foot work for inswing and if it didnt come in, he would leave it entirely rather than playing. If he thought it was outswing but the ball came in, he only defended. These things come from lot of practice. This bunch dont even know how to properly leave the ball. Patience was lacking in almost all of them.

Isn't Kaptaan Kool doing most of field settings in most of the ODIs and T20s. Kohli looks clueless in ODIs and can be seen fielding in the boundaries.

Even in the matches Rohit captained,Dhoni was setting the fields.

Rahane did much better job vs Aussies.

Kaptaan Hothead still has a long way to go.
