The Indian team put up an emphatic display against Pakistan last night to outclass the defending champions comfortably in the high-octane Champions Trophy 2025 clash.
In the aftermath of the win, India’s 2013 Champions Trophy hero Shikhar Dhawan was invited to the dressing room. While it’s mostly T Dilip, India’s fielding coach who confers the ‘best fielder’ award, this time the honour was bestowed upon Dhawan.
In a video posted by the Indian cricket team on their social media channels, the former India opener named all-rounder Axar Patel as the winner.
Axar had been brilliant in the field against Pakistan, especially with the direct hit that helped India pick up Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq’s wicket.

However, in the end, it was Axar who took the top honours from Dhawan.
Speaking on the occasion, Dhawan said, “Thank you for inviting me over here to give the medal to the special player who created the magic moment as we always talk about Axar Patel”.
Previously, KL Rahul secured the medal for his exceptional efforts against Bangladesh in India’s opening match of the tournament. The Men in Blue will take on New Zealand in their final league match on February 2 (Sunday).
