In the T20 World Cup final, Suryakumar Yadav made a crucial catch that helped India win by putting David Miller out.
India and South Africa played in one of the most closely contested finals in T20 World Cup history, which turned out to be an incredible match between two undefeated sides. With 30 runs needed from 30 balls, South Africa appeared to be certain of victory until Suryakumar Yadav delivered a fantastic ‘clutch moment,’ snagging an amazing boundary-rope catch on a drive made by David Miller to tip the scales in India’s favor. Although the match was deemed to be “match-defining,” some fans believe Surya’s foot touched the rope during the catch.
The third umpire reviewed the play from several perspectives to determine if Surya had made a clean catch. With just the tailenders left to chase the remaining score, South Africa had little option but to concede the decision in favour of the Indian side.
On social media, new recordings have surfaced, though, indicating that the Proteas ought to have received a six for that particular event.
“In the practice, he would have already taken fifty catches of the kind…It is crucial that he understands the rope and has the assurance to toss and catch it. Following the game, India’s fielding coach T Dilip commented on Suryakumar’s catch, saying, “It was a decision-making moment at that point in time.”
Miller’s strike might have easily passed the boundary if it had been a bit more clean. Considering that India won by just 7 runs, this kind of match would have drastically altered the course of the match.
