Title: KL Rahul wins India's fielding medal from coach T Dilip, leaving Mohammed Shami disappointed with missed opportunity

While India put up a solid performance in their match against Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy, fielding was definitely an area where they fell short. The team was a bit sloppy on the field, with missed catches and stumping opportunities. This allowed Bangladesh to score more runs than they should have. An easy catch was dropped by Rohit Sharma at first slip, denying Axar Patel a hat-trick, and Hardik Pandya also missed a straightforward chance at mid-off. These missed opportunities ultimately cost India, as Bangladesh went on to score over 200 runs. India will need to sharpen up their fielding skills in future matches to ensure they don't let crucial chances slip away.

But while there were lapses, some Indian players responded well, too. Virat Kohli took a fine catch in the deep to dismiss the well-set Jaker and also caught Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto. Rahul also redeemed himself by plucking a sharp catch, sending back Mushfiqur Rahim for a golden duck. Lastly, even Mohammed Shami, who starred with a five-wicket-haul, completed a tough catch to pick up the last India wicket.

However, when it was time for the fielding medal to be announced, Shami was left out. In the beginning of the video posted by the BCCI, Shami said, "Look at our fielding coach; he looks very busy. I know who's winning it. Catch toh mera bhi achha tha yaar (Well, the catch I took was good too).

As Dilip read out the contenders list, he started off with Virat Kohli, before moving to Rahul. "Coming to the nominations, I think someone who's been really sure, that he does what he does all the time – going into his positions, grabbing every opportunity when it comes to his way – none other than Virat Kohli," he said.

KL Rahul, Shubman Gill join in

"I think he has been very consistent behind the stumps; it's never easy because with the new ball, diving on the left side, not only this game, he's been really doing well, taking those catches at important junctures of time – KL Rahul."

Even Shubman Gill joined the contenders list. "We always talk about catches, and with Shami bowling a brilliant spell, the ball went away and was heading towards his right side, Shubman Gill – fantastic effort," said the fielding coach.

Dilip then handed over the proceedings to India's 'livewire on the field' Ravindra Jadeja. The team then stepped outside the dressing room, where the winner KL Rahul was announced on the big screen. The entire team broke into a laughter, bringing back fond memories of the 2023 World Cup.
