Jaiswal and Siraj got the title of best fielder
New Delhi (Uttam Hindu News)- Left-handed opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal and fast bowler Mohammed Siraj were named the best fielders of the series after registering a spectacular seven-wicket win in the Kanpur Test.
In a video posted on BCCI.tv, India fielding coach T Dilip revealed that Jaiswal and Siraj emerged as the best fielders in the series, leaving behind skipper Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. He said, “This time we have two winners for the best fielder. In this series, the players set an example of excellent fielding. We took many good catches in both the Test matches, which is really commendable. I feel that two people deserved this medal and they were none other than Jaiswal and Siraj.”
India’s catching has been excellent in the series and Dilip praised the entire team for giving their best in this aspect of the game. Although Rohit did not get a medal, Dilip praised his fielding skills. He said that when it comes to catching, I think he is the most reliable. Talking about Rahul, Dilip said, “He is a player who has really shown his strong reflexes and when it comes to catching, he is really calm and does a great job.” With a spectacular win over Bangladesh, India have taken their points percentage to 74.24 in the World Test Championship and consolidated their top position.
India will now play a three-match home Test series with New Zealand, starting on October 16 in Bengaluru, followed by matches in Pune and Mumbai.
