WATCH: Mohammed Siraj Receives Best Fielder Medal From Yuvraj Singh In T20 World Cup 2024

The medal ceremony in the Indian dressing room has become a new normal and the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 has paved the way for the norm to find its way into the team dressing room. The ceremony was held once again after the game between India and USA on Wednesday and Mohammed Siraj won the best fielder medal.

The Indian pacer took a diving catch to dismiss Nitish Kumar in the 150th over. Apart from that, he also took USA captain Aaron Jone’s catch in the match. Siraj beat wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav to bag the Best Fielder award.

ICC’s Global Ambassador Yuvraj Singh made a special appearance for the medal ceremony in the dressing room. The Southpaw congratulated the Indian team for entering the Super 8s with 3 wins on the trot and hailed the collective effort from the team.
