In the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023, the home side, India has been carrying a habit of awarding the best fielders after every game. In the game against Bangladesh on Thursday, October 19, the likes of Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul were the contenders to win. The former took a catch behind the stumps, down the leg side to send back Mehidy Hasan Miraj.

On the other hand, Jadeja took a diving catch on his wrong side, i.e right side to send back Mushfiqur Rahim. Talking about the game, the Tigers won the toss and elected to bat first. Despite having a great start with 93/0 on the board, the team managed only 256/8 at the end of the innings. In reply, the Men In Blue chased down the target easily with Virat Kohli getting his 48th ODI hundred.

Sorry for stealing Player of the Match from Ravindra Jadeja: Virat Kohli
On the other hand, the 2013 Champions Trophy winner was also a contender to win the player of the match award for his bowling. However, former India skipper Kohli won it
“Sorry for stealing it (the player of the Match award) from Jaddu. I wanted to make a big contribution. Have made fifties in World Cups, wanted to finish it off this time. (Free hits to start off) I was telling Shubman that even if you dream about this situation, you go back to sleep. It was a dream start. It just calms you down. The pitch was good, allowed me to play my game – hit the gaps and find the boundaries whenever I could. Great atmosphere in the dressing room. The spirit is there for everyone to see. You need to create some momentum in the changing room to come out and play like this. Special feeling to play in front of such crowds,” Player of the Match Virat said in the post-match.
