How Suryakumar Yadav won India the World Cup 

Suryakumar Yadav had a decent campaign with the bat for India in T20 World Cup 2024 but he departed cheaply in the final against South Africa. It felt as if Sky was failing on the biggest stage once again. 

But as fate would have it, Suryakumar Yadav's moment to win India the World Cup did arrive. Not with the bat but with his intelligence. 

South Africa needed 16 runs of the last over and Hardik Pandya had the ball in hand with David Miller on strike. Hardik bowled a low full toss which David Miller smashed. The ball felt like it was going over the rope but that is when Suryakumar came running in and caught a sensational catch. 

He realised he was close to the boundary and showed excellent presence to prevent his feet from touching the rope, tossing the ball up in the air and grabbing the ball back after entering the field of play again.

Given the moment, occasion, importance and the sheer skill required in the catch it is certainly one of the Greatest Catches ever taken in cricket. 

With that catch Suryakumar Yadav gave immense joy to 1.5 Billion people as the catch certainly sealed their World Cup triumph and put an end to years of heartbreak for the nation.
