Ambati Rayudu Big Statement on Surya T20 World Cup Final Catch
By Abhishek Kumar
Team India won the T20 World Cup against South Africa in 2024. The memories are still fresh in our hearts. That match was very close. At one stage, it looked like India had lost and South Africa would lift the trophy. But India’s bowling kept the hope alive till the last over.
In the final over, South Africa needed 16 runs. That’s when Surya Kumar Yadav pulled off an unbelievable catch at the boundary to dismiss David Miller. That catch changed the match and gave India the win. It became the biggest moment of the World Cup final.


Ambati Rayudu Statement
Now, former cricketer Ambati Rayudu has given a big statement on this famous catch. He revealed that the boundary rope was slightly pushed back because of broadcast equipment and cameras. He said if the rope was in its original position, Miller’s shot could have gone for six. But with the rope a little behind, Surya had the space to complete the stunning catch.
Rayudu said, Sometimes luck also plays a role. Surya’s brilliance was outstanding, but maybe the pushed-back rope also helped.
Fan’s Opinion
Fans are again talking about this moment after Rayudu’s words. Some call it luck, some call it Surya’s class. But one thing is sure – that catch will always remain special. It was the turning point that gave Rohit Sharma’s team the edge and gave India another T20 World Cup trophy to remember forever.
