NEW DELHI: Following the team's thrilling six-run victory over Pakistan in the Twenty20 World Cup, former India head coach Ravi Shastri was called into the dressing room to present Rishabh Pant with the best fielder award. He later said that the news of the wicketkeeper-batter's potentially fatal car accident in December 2022 had brought tears to his eyes.
Pant made a vital 42 off 31 balls in Sunday's low-scoring thriller at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, despite being dropped four times and not getting his timing right in the early stages of his knock. Pant took three excellent catches with the keeping gloves to win the title of finest Indian fielder during the match against Pakistan.
