Suryakumar received the medal from left-arm throwdown specialist coach Nuwan Seneviratne and India fielding coach T Dilip appreciated the Sri Lankan’s contribution.

“Tirelessly working behind the stumps playing dual roles. But especially in the fielding, he has been my right shoulder, my everything,” said Dilip.

Suryakumar also expressed satisfaction on his performance and thanked fielding coach T Dilip for working with him behind the scenes for one year.

“He (Dilip) has been behind me for one year; finally, I think this is the reward,” said the 33-year-old.
