Indian team’s fielding medal ceremony has gained widespread interest through course of the ICC World Cup 2023. India’s fielding coach T. Dilip is the brain behind this custom and had said that it is something which the team has been doing for a few months.
“Basically, it is about judging attitude, yes there are statistics for catches taken but we look at the overall contribution. An innings has 300 balls, how do you handle them on the field. This is not just about one brilliant catch; it is about the overall effort.”
In all the 10 games, several Indian players have received the fielding medal in variety of ways: from displaying the name on the stadium’s big screen to Sachin Tendulkar announcing the winner.
1) Virat Kohli vs Australia in Chennai
2) Shardul Thakur vs Afghanistan in Delhi
3) KL Rahul vs Pakistan in Ahmedabad
4) Ravindra Jadeja vs Bangladesh in Pune
5) Shreyas Iyer vs New Zealand in Dharamsala
6) KL Rahul vs England in Lucknow
7) Shreyas Iyer vs Sri Lanka in Mumbai
8) Rohit Sharma vs South Africa in Kolkata
