What was the reason for the controversy?

Suryakumar Yadav's catch was in the news since the day of the final match. On one hand, his catch was being praised, while on the other hand it was being claimed that his foot had touched the boundary rope. There were also allegations on his catch that the boundary rope was moved back from its actual place. According to ICC's boundary rules, it should have been a six, but the umpire gave a wrong decision in haste. Team India has defeated South Africa by cheating.
