India beat Australia in their last Super 8 clash of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 in St Lucia on Monday (June 24). While Australia needed to win the match to keep their T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal hopes in their own hands, a brilliant performance from Team India dashed Australia's hopes before Afghanistan's win over Bangladesh sealed their elimination from the competition.

India all-rounder Axar Patel was adjudged the 'Fielder Of the Match', a medal that is given to the best fielder from the Indian team by India's fielding coach T Dilip. While Axar took a stunning catch to help India see the back of Mitchell Marsh, he was presented the medal for his game-changing effort by someone who was described as Dilip as 'unsung hero' of the team. The medal was awarded by Nuwan Seneviratne, Team India's throwdown specialist.

"Phenomenal effort, boys. Everyone, well done. When it comes to fielding in the Caribbean, we will always test our metal... from boundary to infield we covered every gap, but the masterpiece was the commitment for every catch that we have done. With this kind of determination, whether it's adjusting to the wind or speed in the outfield, we were top-notch. Lastly, we clearly show that we are here to dominate," Dilip said in his address to the side after the match.
