Star India batter Rinku Singh bagged the ‘Fielder of the Series’ award following Men in Blue’s 3-0 triumph over Sri Lanka in the T20I series.
Newly appointed head coach Gautam Gambhir’s era started with a massive 3-0 series win over Sri Lanka, after Team India successfully beaten the hosts in the final game on Tuesday.
The X handle of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posted a video of the medal ceremony, which takes place after every game in the dressing room.
In the third T20I match of the series, Rinku Singh made some crucial catch attempts, which helped the Men in Blue dominate Sri Lanka. India head coach T Dilip announced the contenders for the ‘Fielder of the Series’ award and named Ravi Bishnoi, Rinku Singh and Riyan Parag. However, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate awarded the ‘Fielder of the Series’ medal to the 26-year-old.
Recapping the match, Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bowl against India. It was a team performance from the Men in Blue in the first innings, all the batters contributed while setting a target. Shubman Gill (39 runs from 37 balls, 3 fours) was the highest run-getter among his teammates.
