The 2024 T20 World Cup final will always be remembered for the thrilling finale between India and South Africa. One of the most electrifying moments of the match was Suryakumar Yadav’s incredible catch at long-off, which helped India clinch the title.
The catch of the tournament was a stunning piece of fielding that denied South Africa’s David Miller a potential six and changed the course of the game. Recently, Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain, revealed that he had jokingly told Suryakumar that he would have dropped him from the playing XI if he had dropped the catch.
Speaking at a meeting with Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Rohit cracked a joke about Suryakumar Yadav’s catch, saying, “After Surya caught the ball, he told me that the ball sat in his hand. Thank goodness it did. Otherwise, I would have sat him out.”
