NEW DELHI: As the ball soared towards the long-off stands, during the ICC T20 World Cup final against South Africa, India captain Rohit Sharma's hopes seemed to fade. But Suryakumar Yadav's stunning catch at the boundary ropes sent the Kensington Oval crowd in Barbados into a frenzy, reigniting Rohit's dreams of securing the prestigious title in front of the passionate fans.

The tension was palpable with South Africa requiring 16 runs off the final over and the dangerous David Miller at the crease.
When Miller powerfully struck a wide full toss from Hardik Pandya, the outcome hung in the balance.

A viral video on social media captured Rohit dropping to his knee as the ball took flight, anticipating a six.
However, Suryakumar displayed remarkable composure, leaping to catch the ball, releasing it just as he crossed the boundary ropes, and then re-entering the field of play to complete a spectacular catch.
Upon witnessing Suryakumar's phenomenal effort, Rohit's expression transformed to one of pure elation.

WATCH:

"It was god's plan. I am just grateful to be in that moment to do something special for the country...god's plan it was," Suryakumar said when asked about the catch that has become a standout moment from the game," Suryakumar had said after the match.
For many old fans, it evoked memories of the brilliant catch Kapil Dev took in the 1983 World Cup final against the formidable West Indies. Kapil had run sideways from mid-on to snatch a top edge from the legendary Viv Richards off Madan Lal's bowling, showcasing remarkable judgment and skill.
