The fielding coach of India, T Dilip, stated the tradition of announcing the best fielder after every game in a ceremony in the dressing room from India’s first match at the 2023 World Cup against Australia in Chennai.
The ceremony involves the fielding coach giving a thorough review of the performance of the Indian team on the field, including appreciating specific acts of fielding brilliance.
