Bowlers dominated the tournament in the United States and the Carribean islands as pitches provided assitance and batters were forced to play the second fiddle. Three hat-tricks were taken in the World Cup, while no century was scored. Heavyweights India ended their 13-year World Cup drought as Rohit Sharma and Co became the first team to win the tournament unbeaten. The writers at The Field look back at those 55 matches and describe their favourite moment from the World Cup. Surya catches the World Cup By Abhijit Nair "Catches win you matches," is a cliché often thrown around in the world of cricket. It probably is one of the first phrases a newbie to the sport picks up. It is the most overused of all, but continues to be relevant. With South Africa needing 16 to win off the last over in the World Cup final, Suryakumar Yadav provided a perfect example of why the statement holds true. Hardik Pandya, entrusted with the responsibility of closing off the match for India, bowled a full toss to David Miller. The left-handed batter, having already hit a boundary and a six in his 16-ball stay until then, sensed a big scoring opportunity and swung hard. He had put all his might behind that shot albeit off the toe end of the bat, but the ball seemed to be destined to go over the long-off boundary ropes. It could have caused a huge dent for India and Pandya in their World Cup dreams. But, it was then that Yadav decided to intercept it. Stationed at the boundary, the world No 1 T20I batter ran to his left and gobbled the ball up. Easy? Nah, not really. The momentum of his run to reach the ball meant that Yadav was in danger of going over the ropes. He was off-balance. The 33-year-old from Mumbai calmly tossed the ball in the air, went past the ropes and then leapt in the air to catch the ball, and landed safely back in the playing area. To quote the meme world, it was "Absolute Cinema" to send back South Africa's last recognised batter. "You've just dropped the World Cup" The above words from Steve Waugh to Herschelle Gibbs at the 1999 ICC Men's ODI World Cup forms a big part of the cricketing folklore. By the former Australian captain's logic, 'Surya caught the World Cup for India.'
