Reliving Suryakumar Yadav's iconic catch
In the final of the T20 World cup, India were under pressure with South Africa needed 16 runs to win in the final over of the match. Hardik Pandya was handed the ball and he unfortunately bowled a wide full-toss, which Miller moved across the stumps and connected well.
It looked like a six from every corner of the ground but Suryakumar picked up a running catch near long-off to help India script a comeback. The Rohit Sharma-led side eventually went on to win the match by seven runs.
This iconic catch, is described as one of the greatest in the history of cricket. The catch not only showcased Yadav’s athleticism but also his presence of mind, as he juggled the ball near the boundary, ensuring he did not step over the line while completing the catch.
Will Suryakumar Yadav play Duleep trophy matches?
Suryakumar Yadav was scheduled to represent India C in the Duleep Trophy's first round against India D in Anantapur. However, a thumb injury while fielding during the Buchi Babu Invitational tournament match against TNCA XIprevented his participation.
It transpired on Day 3 of the match following which SKY did not come out to bat in the second innings. The ongoing Duleep Trophy holds significant importance for Yadav's aspirations in Test cricket. Despite being a formidable T20I player, Yadav is yet to establish himself in other formats. His last red-ball match was also in the Duleep Trophy last year.
