Watch: Before the 'Best Fielder' Announcement, Rohit Sharma In Splits
Despite the great performances by the batters of team India and bowlers, the fielding medal ceremony after each match has captured the attention of fans in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023. The fielding coach of team India, T. Dilip has been at the forefront of it, and his inventive methods of proclaiming the best fielder of the match have been something to look forward to following each India triumph. It was no different after India's huge 243-run victory over South Africa at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday.
India captain Rohit Sharma won the Fielder of the Match medal in Eden Gardens after India hammered South Africa by 243 runs in the ongoing tournament.
As Rohit was announced as the medal winner, India opener Shubman Gill and batter Ishan Kishan went over to the India captain and congratulated him. Shreyas Iyer presented India's skipper with a medal.

Dilip said in a video posted by the BCCI that "the beauty of our team is that we just fly on the field, but we don't field with hands, but with a genuine commitment, as I have seen today. This reminds me of a simple and most important quote. I feel that the strength of our whole team is each member. We have a new entry today. Suryakumar Yadav did show that his quickness and his effort on the field were fantastic."
