Former India batter Ambati Rayudu has sparked debate with a shocking revelation about Suryakumar Yadav’s sensational boundary catch in the T20 World Cup 2024 final that became a decisive moment in the game. His remarks quickly set social media abuzz, with some fans criticizing the comments while others backing his perspective.
Ambati Rayudu reveals surprising detail about Suryakumar Yadav’s iconic catch in T20 World Cup 2024
During the Unfiltered Podcast with Shubhankar Mishra, Rayudu claimed that the world feed crew had placed a chair and a screen near the boundary to assist the broadcasters, which led to the rope being pushed slightly back. Even after the setup was removed, the rope wasn’t restored to its original position. In the final over of the match, when South Africa required 16 runs to win, David Miller’s powerful shot down the ground ended up in the hands of Suryakumar, whose stunning catch sealed India’s historic triumph.
“There were world feed commentators. During the break, what usually happens is they put a chair there and a screen in order to help the broadcasters see what is happening. That is why they pushed the rope backwards a little bit. But, they left it like that (even after taking the screen and the chair away). That is how the boundary became a little bigger for us. We (the commentators) could see it from above. It was god’s plan,” said Rayudu during the chat on the podcast.
