Team India star presents medal for Impact Fielder after IND vs ENG 2025 3rd ODI [Watch]
Team India opener Shubman Gill was tasked with awarding the Impact Fielder of the Series for the recently concluded three ODIs against England. Shreyas Iyer was awarded the medal for his contributions when fielding in the three matches.
The tradition of awarding a player for their exemplary fielding performances has continued since the 2023 ODI World Cup. Since then, the team management has been awarding players medals after each series for their contributions, while the tradition of awarding every match is followed during ICC tournaments.
After the end of the third ODI between India and England at Ahmedabad, the players and the coaching staff got together in the dressing room for the ceremony. T Dilip, Team India's fielding coach, said it was a close contest between Harshit Rana, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer. Cheekily, Dilip called Gill to present the medal to Iyer, with the dressing room sharing a laugh.
