The CWC 2023 has kicked off with a bang, featuring remarkable performances that have set the stage ablaze. The tournament has already seen multiple records shattered and players reaching significant milestones, making it a spectacle of extravagant displays on the field.
In this World Cup, the Indian team has left no stone unturned, ticking all the right boxes. Not only have they excelled in scoring runs and taking wickets, but their fielding prowess has been nothing short of exceptional. In fact, they’ve emerged as the standout fielding side in the World Cup, taking breathtaking catches and saving crucial runs. Their fielding efforts have also created immense pressure on the opposition, leading to vital breakthroughs.
The secret behind this exceptional fielding display is a recent tradition within the Indian team. After each game, the fielding coach awards a medal to the best fielder of the day. In a match against Bangladesh, where several fielders showcased outstanding skills, KL Rahul initially caught everyone’s attention with a remarkable catch while wicketkeeping to dismiss Mehidy Hasan-Miraz. It seemed he was a shoo-in for the day’s fielding medal.

However, a few overs later, Ravindra Jadeja, often regarded as one of the finest fielders in cricket, stole the show. Jasprit Bumrah bowled a back-of-length delivery outside off to Mushfiqur, who attempted a cut shot but was deceived by the bounce. Jadeja, positioned at point, dived full-length to his non-dominant side, making an incredible two-handed catch.
