'Everyone’s Heart Was In Their Mouth...', Rohit Opens Up On SKY's Infamous T20 WC Final Catch
T20 World Cup: Rohit Sharma, who captained India to 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup glory exactly a year ago with a seven-run win over South Africa in Barbados, said Suryakumar Yadav grabbing that game-turning catch under pressure at long-off to see the back of David Miller was the moment of the title clash for him.
“Surya was at long-off and that catch—honestly, it was the moment of the match. Even after he took it, the umpires were checking if he touched the rope. Everyone’s heart was in their mouth. I was at long-on, watching it unfold. It looked like a six—until Surya flew in and took that blinder. With the wind blowing in, I think it helped pull the ball back slightly.”
“I was standing next to him during the check. I asked him and he said, ‘I think I’ve caught it.’ The zoom camera showed the rope didn’t move—which usually happens if it’s touched. That gave us some relief. But until it flashed on the big screen, you don’t know what the third umpire’s going to decide,” said Rohit to JioHotstar.
