That moment in the 2024 t20 world cup final that made the hearts of millions of indian fans race. Suryakumar Yadav's incredible catch, which flew in the air near the boundary and caught the ball, won the world cup for India. While that catch was celebrated as the pinnacle of individual talent, former indian player ambati rayudu has now surprised the cricket world by revealing new information that there was an interesting, unknown plan of god behind it. In the last over of the thrilling final between india and south africa, south africa needed 16 runs to win the match. With runs needed, David Miller was on the field. Miller hit the first ball bowled by hardik pandya for a six towards long-off. While everyone expected the ball to cross the boundary, suryakumar yadav ran at lightning speed, flew into the air, and caught the ball. The way he balanced his body, threw the ball back into the field before it went out of the boundary, and came in and completed the catch was recorded as one of the greatest moments in cricket history.
However, ambati rayudu, who worked as a commentator in that match, has now revealed that there was an unexpected incident behind this incredible catch. Speaking in an interview, ambati rayudu said, "During the break in the match, the broadcast team kept a chair and a screen near the boundary for the convenience of the commentators. For that, the boundary rope is pushed a little inward. "But after the break, the people who removed the equipment forgot to move the rope to its original place," he said. He continued, "Because of this, the boundary line in that area became slightly larger for us. We could see this clearly from the commentator's room. It was a divine intervention, God's plan, you have to say." Asked if the boundary rope had been in its normal place, Miller's ball could have been a six, he said, "I don't know if it was a six or not. "Maybe if the rope had been in its natural place, Suryakumar could have run a little more inside," replied Ambati Rayudu.  Whatever the case, Rayudu confirmed that the catch was completely legal and a "clean catch". "In the end, god was with us," he noted.
