The tradition of presenting a Best Fielder Award in the Indian dressing room, separate from the match's official presentation ceremony, was introduced during the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023. This initiative aims to enhance the team's fielding performance and has continued with behind-the-scenes glimpses shared on social media ever since. The ceremony is not only entertaining, thanks to fielding coach T Dilip's innovative presentation methods, but also inspirational, often featuring motivational quotes that resonate with fans.
Both players and fans eagerly anticipate the creative ways the award is presented, adding an element of surprise and excitement to the post-match rituals. Here's a detailed look at the recipients of the Best Fielder Award following each match in the T20 World Cup 2024:
