In a thrilling final match, Suryakumar Yadav of the Indian cricket team was honored with the prestigious 'Best Fielder' award by BCCI secretary Jay Shah. This recognition was for his incredible catch that dismissed the dangerous David Miller, ultimately leading to India's victory.
The idea of awarding the Best Fielder as an extra motivation was introduced by the fielding coach, who was also the one to announce Suryakumar's achievement. He praised the Indian team for their exceptional fielding skills, comparing them to a pack of wolves who left no stone unturned in their pursuit of victory.
The coach further expressed his pride in the team's performance, stating that they not only rose to the occasion, but also conquered it. He commended their intensity, camaraderie, and resilience, which were evident not just in the final, but throughout the tournament. The players were aware of their roles and worked together to seize every opportunity that came their way.
The match was a nail-biting one, with India making a stunning comeback to deny South Africa their first World Cup title. Suryakumar's catch in the final over proved to be the turning point, displaying his impeccable judgement, composure, and athleticism. The South African team, who needed 16 runs from the over, crumbled under pressure and lost four wickets for just 17 runs.
Earlier in the game, when South Africa required 30 runs from 30 balls, the team collapsed after Hardik Pandya dismissed a well-set Henrich Klaasen for 52. This was followed by a series of wickets, and South Africa could only manage to reach 169/8 in their pursuit of 177.
Suryakumar, who received the award from Jay Shah, expressed his gratitude to the fielding coach for his support and guidance. He also thanked his teammates for their constant encouragement and support. The entire team cheered for Suryakumar as he received his medal, marking a victorious end to the tournament for India.
