Watch: Rohit Sharma looks hopeless, security guard celebrates as new video of Suryakumar Yadav's catch to dismiss David Miller goes viral

Suryakumar Yadav's catch to dismiss David Miller in the final of the recently concluded ICC T20 World Cup 2024 has become a major talking point.

It was a catch that virtually sealed the World Cup for India. Hardik Pandya was given the responsibility to defend 16 runs in the final over with David Miller on the strike. Miller was batting on 21 runs with the help of a six and a four and his wicket was crucial for India to win the game.

On the very first ball, Pandya bowled a low full toss and Miller smashed it straight down the ground. The ball was looking destined to cross the boundary for a six before Suryakumar Yadav came running in from the left and caught the ball before tossing it in the air as the momentum was taking him over the boundary ropes.

He regained his momentum and then returned to the field of play before completing a brilliant juggling catch under pressure. Pandya went on to defend the runs in the last five balls as India won the game by 7 runs to win the T20 World Cup for the second time and first time since 2007.

Many still believe that Suryakumar Yadav's catch was not clean and that his shoe had touched the boundary cushion. Recently, former South Africa captain Shaun Pollock himself shut down all the noise surrounding the catch by saying that it was perfectly legitimate. 

"The catch was fine. The cushion had moved, but that's in the course of the game. It had nothing to do with Surya. He didn't stand on the cushion. Brilliant bit of skill," Pollock said in an interview.

New video of Suryakumar Yadav's catch:

With Suryakumar Yadav's monumental catch still dividing opinions in the cricketing fraternity, a new video of the catch from a different angle has gone viral. The video shows Rohit Sharma looking absolutely hopeless as Miller hit the shot before Suryakumar completed the catch that led to wild celebrations. The video also shows the local security guards celebrating the catch.

"Rohit lost all hope when he saw that and literally bent over. Surya pulled off the game man," a fan wrote in reaction to the video.

Another wrote: "Even security staff were supporting India. That’s heartwarming."
