Mohammed Siraj and Yashasvi Jaiswal edge Rohit Sharma to win the Impact Fielder of the Series award

Following India's outstanding 2-0 Test series triumph over Bangladesh , Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mohammed Siraj received the esteemed "Impact Fielder of the Series" accolade. India's fielding coach, T. Dilip, praised the team's outstanding fielding performance at the traditional post-series medal ceremony.

Dilip underlined how important fielders turned into game-changing events, therefore impacting India's performance all through the series. Nominated for their constant efforts were Jaiswal, Siraj, and skipper Rohit Sharma ; Dilip especially noted Rohit's dependability in the slip cordon.

One of the main factors for India's win was fielding; both games showed amazing effort. Apart from making important runs, Jaiswal made numerous great catches in Chennai and Kanpur. Stopping runs and getting vital wickets depended much on Siraj's quickness and fast reactions. Drawing notice also was Rohit's one-handed grab in the slips, which demonstrated his sharp senses.

During a team meeting, Dilip gave high marks for everyone's dedication to being vigilant on the pitch, even under difficult circumstances. He underlined the boundary-stopping heroics of players like KL Rahul , Virat Kohli , and Siraj and admitted the success of the slip cordon.

Bangladesh was bowled out for only 146 in their second innings by India, who put up a powerful show to win the series. Driven by Jaiswal's strong 51 and an undefeated 29 from Kohli, India easily reached 96/3 in just 17.2 overs. Bowlers Ravichandran Ashwin (3/50), Ravindra Jadeja (3/34), and Jasprit Bumrah (3/17) earlier essentially destroyed the Bangladeshi batting order, leaving them battling at an overnight score of 26/2.

Despite Shadman Islam's brave 50 in the second innings, Bangladesh were bowled out for 233 in the first innings and were unable to form any big partnerships. India's declaration at 285/9 increased pressure on the visitors, who had further difficulties from a soggy outfield that resulted in major delays, therefore affecting two full days of performance.

India has solidified its supremacy in bowling, batting, and fielding with this series victory, setting itself up for future difficulties. Looking ahead India will now face New Zealand in a 3 match Test series starting in mid-October.
