“Today I think our new entry, SKY (Suryakumar Yadav) did really show that his quickness and his effort on the field was fantastic,” says Dilip on Suryakumar Yadav.
“And our GPS navigator keep doing his skills very well but also working with the team,” he says, while pointing towards KL Rahul.
“And world’s best fielder keep doing his thing, whatever comes his way. he never leaves a single and takes all the catches,” Dilip says about Ravindra Jadeja.
“And here comes the important one. I call him the professor because he is tactically gun on getting the fielders at right position. One year back as a team, we found some philosophies for the team and one important thing was putting body on the line. If anyone comes as a first example, it’s the captain,” says Dilip on Rohit Sharma.
“We have been stressing on one point. It’s not about one catch or two good catches. It’s what spark you give to the team and everything counts and today we celebrate little outside in the city of Joy,” he adds.

Bug camera stopped towards Rohit Sharma and the Indian captain was mobbed the Indian team. Shreyas Iyer, winner of the medal in the last match handed over it to his skipper.
“This is something we started in this tournament. Mr Dilip sir has mentioned many a times that this medal is just not mere catching and getting a couple of run outs. But it is more than that,” said Rohit.
Dilip finished the video saying, “Idea of getting this is to make sure that every 15 people deserve to claim this. And one thing, it’s not about just catch one hardwork It’s what impact you make on the time. And I think RO has made it in this match, which is tactical awareness and also he has been outstanding, keeping his body on the line. He deserves it.”
