"Would Have Dropped Suryakumar Yadav": Rohit Sharma's Funny One-Liner Breaks Internet

Rohit Sharma has joked that he would have dropped Suryakumar Yadav from the India playing XI had he dropped the catch that dismissed David Miller during the 2024 T20 World Cup final.

Arguably the title-defining moment in the T20 World Cup 2024 final, Suryakumar Yadav's catch remains a big talking point among fans.

The Indian cricket team arrived in New Delhi after a 16-hour flight from Barbados, where they were stuck for three days due to extreme weather conditions.
