Watch: After Sensational Catch During Cricket World Cup 2023, Shreyas Iyer Gestures For 'Fielder Of The Match' Medal
During the Cricket World Cup 2023 match between India and New Zealand on Sunday, Shreyas Iyer pulled off a sensational catch to dismiss the in-form Devon Conway. During the fourth over of the match, Mohammed Siraj bowled a full-ish delivery to Conway, and the Kiwi opener went for a leg glance. The connection was very good, but Iyer was alert at the square leg, and he made no mistake in completing a sharp catch. Following the dismissal, Shreyas gestured towards the dressing room to give him the "fielder of the match" medal, a custom that the team has introduced during the ongoing competition.
