SKY's catch of David Miller in the final over proved to be game-changing as the wicket helped India seal the thrilling tie by seven wickets in the end.
Suryakumar took the catch near the boundary rope where he had to time it to perfection as he had to cross over the boundary rope while releasing the ball in the air and making it in time onto the ground to complete the catch.
Keeping the catch in perspective, Tabraiz Shamsi had recently taken to his official account on X and shared a post, which showed a group of boys closely checking a catch taken near the boundary ropes.
Shamsi shared the video with the following caption:
"If they used this method to check the catch in the world cup final maybe it would have been given not out 😅"
