Indian team management has introduced a medal for the best fielder of the day in the World Cup, and this new addition to the dressing room rewards system appears to be having a positive impact on the players.
But the big question is who is going to win the best fielder medal as Jadeja had a stiff competition from wicket-keeper KL Rahul. The fact of the matter is whoever wins it, the ultimate winner is Team India at the end.
Following his sensational catch, Jadeja, who treated the crowd to a new celebration, straightaway hugged Rahul – who earlier took an unbelievable left-handed flying stunner.
Jadeja dived to his right at point and took a scorching sharp catch as he sent back Bangladesh‘s dangerous middle-order batter Mushfiqur Rahim for 38. Prior to Jadeja’s stunner, Rahul’s agility and athleticism were on full display as he dived to his left and executed a stunning one-handed catch that left fans in awe.

Here are some reactions on social media after both the catches:
