Jadeja took three incredible catches of Afghanistan batters Hazratullah Zazai, Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan to win his first medal of the tournament while defeating Rishabh Pant, Arshdeep Singh, and Axar Patel for the prestigious award.
He also had a nice conversation with Mohammed Siraj, describing the pacer as the best fielder ever and his inspiration. Siraj has already claimed two Best Fielder medals, and Pant has also received one.
Coming to the match, India had Suryakumar Yadav to thank for a 47-run win against Afghanistan as they got the Group 1 action going in the Super Eights in Bridgetown.
