The players he sent back to the stadium were Fakhar Zaman, Imad Wasim, and Shadab Khan. 

Other than Pant, Suryakumar Yadav (Caught a Low-Slip Catch to dismiss Babar Azam) and Arshdeep Singh (Caught a Catch to dismiss Iftikhar Ahmed) were also appreciated for their fielding abilities. 

Despite being the most run-getter in this match from team India, Pant also fielded extremely well. In the New York Stadium, Nassau County International Stadium, Rishabh took 3 wickets. 

Emotional Ravi Shastri Giving Medal to India

After the India vs Pakistan match, Ravi Shastri gave Pant the “Fielder of the Match” medal and appreciated his innings and superb comeback. He stated:

“Batting.... everybody knew what you were capable of -- the X-factor you have. But, your wicket-keeping and the range of movement that got back so quickly after the operation is a tribute to how much you worked hard,“ he said. “And not just for yourself, it’s an inspiration to millions across the globe that from adversity and jaws of death, you can snatch a win as well. So well done, fantastic. Keep up the good work, and keep going. Enjoy, guys; well played today.”

He added:

“It was a fabulous game -- a typical India-Pakistan game where the pendulum swings from one side to the other. It’s a game that puts everyone on the edge,”

He concluded:

“A lot of people suffering from weak hearts have problems with heart attacks, so there are a lot of ambulances all over the place. And that showed today, with the game going all the way down to the wire. In the end, it’s the team that ceases the big moments and holds their nerve; they come out on top.”
