Watch: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli React As 'Best Fielder' Award Returns With Fresh Twist
India's fielding coach T Dilip had introduced the 'best fielder' medal in the ODI World Cup 2023. He continued the trend in T20 World Cup 2024.
The young fan said he want to meet star pacer Arshdeep Singh as the speedster is best.
Coming to the match, riding on the back of fine performances from Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah, India registered an 8-wicket victory against Ireland.
Opted to field first, Indian bowlers put pressure on Irish batters from the start and had them struggling at 50/8 but fightback from Gerath Delany (26 in 14 balls) and Joshua Little (14 in 13 balls) helped Ireland push the total to 96 in 16 overs.
During the run-chase of 97 runs, a half-century from skipper Rohit Sharma (52 in 37 balls, with four boundaries and three sixes) and a supportive knock by Rishabh Pant (36* in 26 balls, with three fours and two sixes) helped India secure an eight-wicket win.
