Here's the truth about Suryakumar Yadav catch that changed the fate of T20 World Cup final</figcaption></figure><br><p>The discussion over <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/icc-t20-world-cup-team-of-the-tournament-includes-six-indians-led-by-rohit-sharma-virat-kohli-and-rishabh-pant-miss-out/">Suryakumar Yadav’</a>s sensational catch in the final over of the T20 World Cup summit clash is not going to end anytime soon. The stunning grab at the boundary line was so close that it has led to several controversies. Needing 16 runs from the final over, South Africa had David Miller on strike. The southpaw hit a wide full toss from Hardik Pandya, but Suryakumar caught the ball inside the ropes at long-off, released it just as he went over the boundary, and then came back in to complete an astonishing catch.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Social media claims and boundary cushion controversy</h3><p>In fresh criticism of the catch, many users on social media claimed that the boundary cushion was pushed outside deliberately during the second innings to give the Indian team an unfair advantage. However, these allegations were proven wrong as the boundary cushion was outside the line even during the Indian innings. It is quite common to change the positions of boundary ropes ahead of a match, depending on the pitch being selected for the game.</p><p>“I was there at the ground in the TV commentary box and can tell that the white line that’s in question here was not the boundary. The boundary rope wedge was behind that white line and this was the case from the start of the match,” clarified a commentator.</p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I was there at the ground in the TV commentary box and can tell that the white line that's in question here was not the boundary.

For many old-time fans, the catch brought back memories of the unbelievable one taken by Kapil Dev in the 1983 World Cup final against the mighty West Indies. Viv Richards top-edged a Madan Lal delivery and Kapil ran sideways from mid-on to take the blinder.</p><p>Suryakumar’s remarkable effort and the subsequent controversy highlight the intense scrutiny and passion surrounding cricket, especially during pivotal moments in World Cup history.</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded>
