Suresh Raina said on Subhankar Mishra’s podcast, “Woh mujhe nahi pata. Mujhe bas etna pata hai hamne World Cup jeeta hai. Pata nahi woh kya bol raha hai. (I don’t know about that. All I know is that we won the World Cup. I have no idea what he’s saying.)” View this post on Instagram A post shared by cricketTonic12 (@crickettonic_13) Suryakumar Yadav’s gravity-defying catch Suryakumar Yadav’s gravity-defying catch in the T20 World Cup 2024 final has gone down as one of the most unforgettable moments in cricket history, but the drama around it refuses to end. The current Indian skipper was positioned at long-off when South Africa was just a few runs away from victory. But Surya just did the unimaginable, as he juggled the ball on the edge of the boundary before holding on to dismiss David Miller and hand India the T20 World Cup trophy. His effort was instantly celebrated as a once-in-a-generation display of composure under pressure, but it brought with it a controversy. Fans across the globe dissected freeze-frames and slowed-down clips, searching for evidence of whether his foot had grazed the rope, with some calling it the cleanest clutch catch ever and others insisting the margins deserved a second look. What had Ambati Rayudu said? Ambati Rayudu revealed that the boundary rope had been pushed back slightly to make space for broadcast equipment and was never restored to its original spot during the 2024 T20 World Cup final between India and South Africa. This made the boundary a little bigger, and he said destiny was in India’s favor. Rayudu was commentating in the final that India won by seven runs against South Africa in Barbados. Ambati Rayudu said on Shubhankar Mishra’s Unfiltered Podcast: “There were world feed commentators. During the break, they usually put a chair and a screen there for broadcasters. That’s why the rope was pushed back a little. But after the screen and chair were removed, it was left that way. The boundary ended up being a bit bigger for us. We could see it clearly from above. It was God’s plan.” Later, Suryakumar had said of his moment, “I don’t know if it was a six (in natural circumstances) or not. If the rope had been placed at its normal position, maybe Surya would’ve run from inside.”
