Dilip then declared Rahul as the third winner of the best fielder medal for India in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023. Once he announced Rahul’s name, Virat Kohli came up with a hilarious reaction. The video of the same went viral where Kohli alongside Shubman Gill was in shock and came up with a funny reaction.
Earlier, in the game against Pakistan, Rahul grabbed a brilliant catch off Imam-ul-Haq, diving to his left side.
Talking about Rahul's performance, Dilip said, "One skill generally which really gets ignored, I think is wicketkeeping. We expect to do the job, but some of the things we spoke about coming to the wicket, coming to the stumps to collect those throws. Doing the leg side stump and catches. I think overall KL was fantastic. Well done."
