Suryakumar Yadav’s magical catch seals T20 World Cup for India

Suryakumar Yadav pulled off an astonishing catch to dismiss David Miller in the final over of the ICC T20 World Cup at a pivotal moment in a tense final.

Yadav managed to pull off the stunning catch near the ropes to send the dangerous Miller back.

Yadav later said, “The catch I took, I have practised it at different grounds, depending on the wind. I was standing a bit wide yesterday because Hardik (Pandya) and Rohit (Sharma) bhai had put a field for the wide yorker, and (David) Miller had hit straight. So when the ball was coming, for a second I looked at him and he looked at me. I ran and my aim was to catch the ball, had he (Rohit) been closer, I would have thrown the ball towards him. But he was nowhere close. In those 4-5 seconds, whatever happened, I can't explain it".
