The BCCI on Sunday shared a video of the Indian dressing room on social media, in which West Indies legend Sir Vivian Richards is seen. This time he was part of the Best Fielder Award event held in India’s dressing room.
It is worth mentioning that after every match, the team’s fielding coach T Dileep nominates the players for the best fielder medal. And this trend continues in the ongoing tournament as well. Apart from Sir Vivian Richards, Ravi Shastri, Yuvraj Singh and Rahul Dravid have already given this award to different players. After the match against Bangladesh, the team’s fielding coach T Dilip nominated Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Akshar Patel for the best fielder medal. Vivian Richards presented the medal to world number one batsman Suryakumar Yadav. This time he was the winner of the Best Fielding Award. Suryakumar Yadav caught Liton Das, which was a very good catch.
Fielding coach T Dileep called Vivian Richards to the Indian dressing room. The entire team welcomed Vivian Richards into the dressing room with a standing ovation. Vivian Richards hugs Virat Kohli and shakes hands with Team India head coach Rahul Dravid. The West Indies great praised the Indian team for their performance so far in the tournament. Richards also said that he would support the Indian team if the West Indies do not qualify for the tournament.
Vivian Richards said, “First of all I want to say that you are doing very well. What can I say about a team that is already so powerful? You know, you are doing well here. All I can say is if the Maroons can’t get it done, I’ll back you. Is that okay? “As a Caribbean person, it makes sense, but it’s really cool to see what you guys have done here.”
With this win, India has four points from two wins in two matches in Group One and the team is at the top. Australia are second with two points from one match. Bangladesh and Afghanistan, who faced their second consecutive defeat, have not even opened their account yet.
