Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team picked up a big 47-run win over Rashid Khan's Afghanistan in match 43 of the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval in Barbados, on June 20 (Thursday). After the match, Ravindra Jadeja was given the best fielder medal. However, there was no special guest from outside for the medal-giving ceremony but instead, Indian head coach Rahul Dravid gave Jadeja his first medal of this mega tournament.
Rahul Dravid gives Ravindra Jadeja the best-fielder medal
Jadeja took three amazing catched in the match against Afghanistan. He edged Rishabh Pant, Arshdeep Singh, and Axar Patel to get his first medal of this season. The premium all-rounder was happy and even lifted Rahul Dravid after receiving the award. He also had a fun interaction with Mohammed Siraj, where he calls the pacer the best fielder ever and his inspiration. Siraj has already received two best fielder medals and Pant has received one too.
Usually, there is a special guest that comes to the dressing room to give this medal as Yuvraj Singh and Ravi Shastri did during the previous matches but this time around the legendary Rahul Dravid did the honour.
India win their first Super 8 match
Batting first India posted 181/8 on the scoreboard with the help of Suryakumar Yadav's astonishing fifty. He played a 53-run knock off just 28 balls and helped the Indian team post a big score despite losing four wickets by the 11th over itself.
Then in the second innings, Jasprit Bumrah stole the show. India bowled out Afghanistan on 134 runs. Bumrah was the star of the show as he picked up three wickets in his four-over spell and only gave away 7 runs, while one of the overs was also a maiden.
