It wasn't just the Indian team's performance in the ODI World Cup 2023 that sent smiles all across the country but the ‘best fielder' custom that brought some epic dressing room scenes from the Indian team. While many believed that the ‘best fielder' trend would end with the conclusion of the World Cup, India's fielding coach T Dilip ensured that wasn't the case.

After getting the medal, Siraj said he was "waiting for this medal since the World Cup and now he's won it, which shows that one should never give in."
For the fans, it was pleasing to see smiles returning to the Indian dressing room after the Cricket World Cup 2023 final heartbreak. Despite winning 10 matches on the trot, India lost the World Cup final to Australia, with the players' dream of lifting the coveted trophy being shattered.
However, with the T20 World Cup 2024 already in focus, the journey in pursuit of success has already begun.
