Team India returned triumphant from Barbados as the winners of the T20 World Cup 2024. The summit clash against South Africa proved to be a thriller in all its glory.
However, a controversial moment emerged the very last over, when Suryakumar Yadav took an exceptional catch to dismiss David Miller in the final over. Had the ball gone for a six, South Africa would have needed 10 runs to win in the next five deliveries. However, the catch brought India completely into the game. Meanwhile, the legitmacy of Yadav's catch has been questioned as a tan line gave an impression that the boundary cushion was not in its original place. Further, it was also suggested that Suryakumar's feet touched the rope. With differing opinions being discussed, a new angle on the catch has come forth, which clarifies that his feet was clear of the rope.  A new slow-motion smartphone camera captured the footage, filmed by the spectators in the stadium. The clip shows plenty of distance between Surya's feet and the boundary rope as he takes the catch.
