You must remember the moment of the final match of T20 World Cup 2024 when South Africa needed 16 runs from 6 balls to win. The strike was with South Africa's dangerous batsman David Miller. Lines of worry were also visible on the forehead of the Indian team, because the overs of the team's main bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh were completed.
The fifth bowler of the team Hardik Pandya had the ball in his hand. On the very first ball of Hardik, David Miller played a long shot which was seen going towards the boundary. For a while it seemed that this ball would cross the boundary line. But in the meantime Suryakumar Yadav took an amazing catch.
