India continued their winning run in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 as they beat Afghanistan by eight wickets on Wednesday, October 11 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. After opting to bat first, Afghanistan posted 272/8 in their allotted 50 overs with captain Hashmatullah Shahidi top-scoring with 80 (88). In reply, India comfortably chased down the target in 35 overs courtesy of a record-shattering hundred from Indian captain Rohit Sharma (131 off 84).

Following the end of the game, India’s fielding coach T Dilip appreciated all the fielders for their remarkable efforts in the field. He praised the likes of Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan for keeping a tight hold on the batters with their marvellous fielding. However, it was Shardul who won the medal for the best fielder of the match for his sensational catch of Rahmanullah Gurbaz on the deep square leg boundary.
