The new video shows the catch from a different angle and answers all doubts.
The Men in Blue sealed a nail-biting clash in the final to outclass South Africa and win the T20 World Cup 2024 on June 29.
A chief reason for this win was the game-changing catch by Suryakumar Yadav on the penultimate over to dismiss the Proteas finisher dangerous David Miller.
With the ball headed for a maximum, SKY managed to jump just in time to stop it but the momentum took him over the boundary rope. The star Indian batter maintained his composure and lifted the ball in the air as he stepped on the other side of the boundary and then jumped back in to complete the stellar catch.
However, a lot of controversies cropped up in the aftermath of the match regarding the legality of the catch with many fans claiming that SKY’s feet had subtly grazed the boundary ropes. But a new video has now surfaced on the internet which shows the catch from a different angle and answers all doubts.
In this latest clip that has emerged, it can be seen clearly that Suryakumar is some distance away from the ropes when the ball is on his hand.
