T20 World Cup final, last over of the match, Hardik Pandya has the ball and David Miller is on strike. Pandya bowled a full toss ball on which Miller played an aerial shot, it seemed that the ball would cross the boundary and South Africa would get 6 runs but then a superman came and caught the ball in a miraculous way. This superman was none other than Suryakumar Yadav. Suryakumar Yadav caught the ball in such a brilliant way in the pressure moments that everyone was surprised. The big thing is that after catching the ball, he also crossed the boundary line but before that he bounced the ball in the air and then he came back and managed to catch the ball.
Suryakumar Yadav caught this catch of David Miller, who is considered the best match finisher in the world. If Miller had not caught this catch, it is possible that South Africa would have become the world champion, but Surya did not let this happen. This catch of Suryakumar Yadav is being compared to former captain Kapil Dev. He also won the title for Team India by catching Vivian Richards in the 1983 World Cup final. That catch was also almost impossible, but Kapil Dev made it possible and 41 years later, Suryakumar Yadav has also made the team world champion by taking a miraculous catch like Kapil Dev.

It was not easy for Team India to become the world champion. At one point, South African team needed only 30 runs from 30 balls to win, but despite this, three bowlers of Team India completely turned the match around. Hardik Pandya, Jaspreet Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh snatched the match from South Africa in the last 5 overs. Earlier, Virat Kohli scored 76 runs to take his team to a big score of 176 runs and he was also the Player of the Match. Overall, Team India's dream of winning the T20 World Cup again has been fulfilled after 17 years. At the same time, Team India has won an ICC trophy after 11 years.
