The Indian Cricket Team has shown a phenomenal display of both batting and bowling in the ongoing ICC Men’s World Cup 2023, winning all seven matches and becoming the first team to qualify for the semi-finals.
However, the most talkative part of the tournament has been India’s sensational show on the fielding side. The fielding medal ceremony after every match has also caught attention, as India’s fielding coach T Dilip has been at the forefront of it and his innovative ways of announcing the best fielder of the match have been something lucrative to watch.

The event was graced by, in all honesty, unbelievable Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. The ‘Lord of Cricket’ commended Captain Rohit Sharma and the group board for concocting a such group-holding exercise. ” Rohit met me a few days ago and addressed me about the fielding medal,” Sachin said.
Sachin Shared An Anecdote From 2003 WC
He even shared an account from the 2003 World Cup. ” At the point when we were playing in South Africa, we had a graph. It had ‘I can, we can’ referenced and each player needed to sign that graph prior to going on the field. Everything revolved around responsibility… I will give my 100 obligations to the nation and the group. That is precisely the exact thing the ongoing group is doing by giving a handling decoration. It is an impression of your obligation to work on something for your partner, for your group, and for the country.
