Viral Video: Shreyas Iyer Takes Home 'Impact Fielder' Medal After England ODI Series

At the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on February 12, Team India defeated England by 142 runs, a well-earned triumph. The outcome was a (3-0) series whitewash for the hosts. Following the victory, Shreyas Iyer was named the most influential player of the ODI series by the Indian coaching staff and dressing room. With some spectacular catches, run-outs, and athletic fielding in the deep, India defeated Jos Buttler's team 4-1 in the Twenty20 Internationals to complete a clean sweep of the three-match ODI series.

In the first ODI, Iyer struck a remarkable 59 runs off 36 balls. In the second and third ODIs, he scored 44 and 78 runs, respectively. Additionally, he was electrifying at a variety of positions and made it difficult for the English hitters to score runs rapidly while he was on the field. As a result, he became one of the main arguments in favour of India winning the series on their own. Similar to this, fielding coach T Dilip stood forward to declare who the series' top fielder was.

I think whether it’s cutting the angles on the outfield or taking those phenomenal catches, running back and also those crucial run-outs at an important juncture of the matches, I think fantastic effort by everyone. We as a team take a lot of pride in fielding and to see us execute with composure and consistency throughout this series was incredibly satisfying."

He asked Shubman Gill to perform the honours and give Iyer the winning medal as he announced the winner. In addition, Harshit Rana was one of the other award hopefuls for saving over 10 runs, demonstrating his dedication despite being a fast bowler. being able to bowl quickly.
