The Best Fielder Award of Team India Gets 'Bajirao' Twist
The Indian cricket team is only one win away from the ODI Cricket World Cup title. After 12 long years, the Indian cricket team entered the ODI Cricket World Cup final with a win over New Zealand in the semi-final of the 2023 edition. Both Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer scored a century each as the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team set a huge 398-run target in the Cricket World Cup semi-final. Then, Mohammed Shami took a seven-wicket haul as India dismissed New Zealand for 327 to win the Cricket World Cup semi-final by 70 runs.
On Sunday, the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 final will be held in Ahmedabad, with the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team eyeing a third ODI Cricket World Cup title for the nation. After the semi-final, it was time for the special 'best fielder' award ceremony. While in the past few matches, the award was announced in grand fashion, this time fielding coach T Dilip kept it simple; however, Suryakumar Yadav gave it a twist while presenting the medal to Ravindra Jadeja.
Suryakumara Yadav used a famous dialogue from the movie 'Bajirao Mastaani' while presenting the award. He said, "Cheetay ki chaal, Baaj ki nazar aur Royal Navghan ki fielding se koi nahi bach sakta.”
