India captain Rohit Sharma was won the best fielder award for his “tactical awareness” against South Africa, the team India fielding coach T Dilip said on a video posted by the BCCI.tv.

Rohit Sharma surpassed Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja to win the ‘best fielder’s’ award.

“Beauty of our team is that we just fly on the field but also we just don’t field with the hands but it is with a genuine commitment,” Dilip starts the post-match team talk.

“Today I think our new entry, SKY (Suryakumar Yadav) did really show that his quickness and his effort on the field was fantastic,” says Dilip on Suryakumar Yadav. 

“And our GPS navigator keep doing his skills very well but also working with the team,” he says, while pointing towards KL Rahul. 

“And world’s best fielder keep doing his thing, whatever comes his way. he never leaves a single and takes all the catches,” Dilip says about Ravindra Jadeja.

“And here comes the important one. I call him the professor because he is tactically gun on getting the fielders at right position. One year back as a team, we found some philosophies for the team and one important thing was putting body on the line. If anyone comes as a first example, it’s the captain,” says Dilip on Rohit Sharma.

“We have been stressing on one point. It’s not about one catch or two good catches. It’s what spark you give to the team and everything counts and today we celebrate little outside in the city of Joy,” he adds.
