Virat Kohli bags Fielder of the Match medal after win over NZ

Dubai, Mar 3: India star Virat Kohli bagged the 'Fielder of the Match' medal for his contributions in the fielding in India's Champions Trophy last group stage win against New Zealand on Sunday.

Varun Chakaravarthy's five-wicket haul led India to a 44-run win over New Zealand, finishing at the top of Group A in the tournament. They now face Australia in the first semi-final in Dubai on Tuesday, while New Zealand will face South Africa in Lahore on Wednesday.

Following the win, India fielding coach T. Dilip addressed the players in the dressing room and lauded their efforts in the field and revealed the contenders for the best fielding honours before training assistant Udenaka Nuwan Seneviratane handed the medal to Kohli, who featured in his landmark 300th ODI.

"We always speak about being a gun-fighting unit; for me, the most important thing is how you are being proactive. I thought of the different faces of the game; the way we squeezed in when Mitchell came in and he couldn't get to rotate the strike. The way bullet throws came from the outfield..." Dilip said in a video posted by BCCI on its website.
