The Men in Blue delivered a near-perfect performance, particularly excelling in bowling and fielding. Defending a total of 171 runs, the spin duo of Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav claimed six wickets, while Jasprit Bumrah added two to his tally. The fielders were equally sharp, contributing with two crucial run-outs.
After the match, India’s fielding coach, T Dilip, awarded Rishabh Pant the ‘best fielder‘ medal. Pant’s standout moments included a vital catch and a clever stumping that dismissed Moeen Ali in the 8th over. Continuing a World Cup tradition, Dilip invited veteran Dinesh Karthik to present the medal to Pant in the dressing room, a moment shared widely on BCCI’s social media platforms.
This marks Pant’s second ‘best fielder‘ medal of the tournament, tying with Mohammed Siraj for the most by any Indian in T20 World Cup 2024. Pant previously earned the accolade for his fielding performance against Pakistan. Below is the complete list of players who received this prestigious medal during the tournament:
- India vs Ireland: Mohammed Siraj
- India vs Pakistan: Rishabh Pant
- India vs USA: Mohammed Siraj
- India vs Afghanistan: Ravindra Jadeja
- India vs Bangladesh: Suryakumar Yadav
- India vs Australia: Axar Patel
- India vs England: Rishabh Pant
