Siraj, Jaiswal awarded best fielder medal after win over Bangladesh

Left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and fast-bowler Mohammed Siraj were jointly awarded the best fielder medal at the conclusion of India’s 2-0 series win over Bangladesh, after claiming a whirlwind seven-wicket win at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.

In a video posted on bcci.tv, India’s fielding coach T Dilip revealed Jaiswal and Siraj beat competition from captain Rohit Sharma and



batter KL Rahul to grab the best fielder in the series honour.

“This time around we have two winners for this because I felt the effort at which we went about and as Rohit said our catching percentage in these two Tests was 9% which is really appreciable. I thought two people deserved this medal and someone who had every game passed on showed a lot of intent and none other than Jaiswal and Siraj.”
