In the 2023 ODI World Cup match against England in Lucknow, India’s wicket-keeper batter KL Rahul showcased exceptional fielding skills and was awarded the ‘Fielder of the Match’ medal. This marked the second time in the tournament that KL Rahul received this recognition, making him the first Indian cricketer to achieve this feat in ODI World Cup 2023.
KL Rahul showcase exceptional fielding skill
The concept of naming the best fielder after each match was introduced by T Dilip, the fielding coach of the Indian cricket team. This idea gained popularity on social media, and the name of the best fielder was displayed on the electronic display board in Pune. In a unique twist, the spider camera brought the photo of the best fielder to the audience after the match against the Tom Latham-led side in Dharamshala.
T Dilip, the fielding coach, emphasized that the ‘Fielder of the Match’ award is not solely based on statistics but also takes into account the impact of a player’s fielding contributions on the game. It recognizes those players who bring a positive spirit to the field and make significant contributions.
KL Rahul’s fielding skill
After delivering a speech to the players in the dressing room, T Dilip asked them to head to the balcony. As the LED displays in the stands revealed KL Rahul’s jersey, the floodlights in the stadium were gradually turned off. The light and sound show, a feature in all the tournament stadiums, added to the excitement as Dilip highlighted KL Rahul’s contribution as an unsung hero.
