Wasn’t Just A Catch, It Was The World Cup, Says Pathan On SKY’s T20WC 2024 Game-turning Catch
T20 World Cup: Former India left-arm fast bowler Irfan Pathan lauded Suryakumar Yadav’s presence of mind while reminiscing about the catch he took to dismiss David Miller in the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup final, stating that India would have lost the cup had he dropped it.
In the final over of the game, Suryakumar took a relay catch at long-off to dismiss Miller, a moment that gave India a seven-run win over South Africa and ended a long trophy jinx in Barbados.
“A knee-high full toss to a batter like David Miller - more often than not - that’s a six. But Suryakumar Yadav’s presence of mind was exceptional. It wasn’t just a catch; it was the World Cup. The World Cup was in his hands. If he had dropped it, the World Cup would have been dropped as well,” said Pathan on the "Rise of Champions’ episode on JioStar.
