Watch: Rohit Sharma Can't Keep Calm As India's Best Fielder Custom Gets 'Legendary' Twist

Following India's 302-run win against Sri Lanka in the 33rd match of the ODI World Cup 2023 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Shreyas Iyer clinched the 'Fielder of the Match' award. While announcing the winner, 'Men in Blue' fielding coach T Dilip said that the team's performance on the field against Sri Lanka was nothing short of extraordinary. Dilip called Ravindra Jadeja the 'silent sniper' since he is not the loudest on the field but when it comes to throwing, and catching, he is just out there.

"I think it was a shock, but the way you guys performed on the field was nothing short of extraordinary. One special mention to the guys actually today in the hot sun, people who have battled there, when they came back on the field, they made sure that they maintained that intensity. I think one of our GPS navigator types, working along with the captain, makes sure that he has the right fielders at the right place. But also he has tested both sides laterally, taking one side on the right and taking one side on the left. Outstanding, KL Rahul. And we all know that our best fielder is always waiting to take those brilliant catches. I will tell you, my instinct that he would take that catch today. He [Ravindra Jadeja] made it happen. I think last but not least, I think he would call him a 'silent sniper'. He is not the loudest on the field but when it comes to throwing, and catching, he is just out there," Dilip said.

Team India invited Sachin Tendulkar to announce the winner, before revealing the name, the legendary Indian cricketer said that the 'Fielder of the Match' award reminds him of the 2003 World Cup when they used to sign a chart where it was written 'I can, we can'.

Tendulkar also praised Rohit Sharma's side and said
