"Everyone Asked...": Axar Patel Reveals Team Chat After Suryakumar Yadav's T20 World Cup Final Catch
Suryakumar Yadav pulled off a sensational catch to dismiss David Miller in the T20 World Cup 2024 - a moment that contributed massively in the Rohit Sharma-led side clinching the title.
Miller slammed the ball straight down the ground and although SKY pulled off a brilliant effort, there was a lot of controversy over whether his feet touched the boundary line during the whole incident.
Indian cricket team spinner Axar Patel opened up about the entire incident during the high-profile match and even revealed the conversation between his teammates after SKY's brilliant catch during the encounter. "I was at the mid-wicket and when Miller hit the ball, I thought okay this has gone for six but when Surya completed the catch, everyone asked him ‘Did you touch the rope?' Even Surya bhai was not sure. ‘First he said Yes I am confident and within a few seconds he said I am not sure.
Thoda doubtful lag raha (I am not too sure).' When we saw the replay, 99 per cent we thought that we had won the World Cup. It was a high-pressure catch and the way he maintained his balance was amazing," Axar told Indian Express.
