Two Game-Changing Catches By KL Rahul And Ravindra Jadeja – T Dilip
Dilip praised the team’s fielding performance, emphasizing that victories are built not only on runs and wickets but also on exceptional catches and diving efforts. He highlighted KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja’s game-changing catches.
“We have played enough. We all know that win isn’t built-in runs or wickets. I think it is also built on marvellous catches, tremendous diving and today was a great example of that. Just not the way we save, but the numbers saved. Two game-changing catches by KL and Jadeja.
We as a team saved 13 runs today. That was fantastic. So let’s roll the carpet for today’s evening star. On the field today one person was like a lion. Commanding on the field, outstanding effort with the direct hit, saving and fantastic top catch- Jadeja,” Dilip said in a video posted by BCCI.tv.
The team India fielding coach acknowledged Kuldeep Yadav’s outstanding performance and praised his dedication to continually pushing his limits in every game.
“And here comes a big person who’s been stretching his limits by every game. I think today we saw him outstandingly. Well, Kuldeep Yadav, you were outstanding. Like we have been speaking about this medal a lot and I think it’s not just our medal. We made something that is beautiful, but also a testament to our skill, fitness and will to put our bodies on the line. KL please do the honours for me,” Dilip further said in a video.
