"Class is PERMANENT"
India won their second T20 World Cup by defeating South Africa in the final on June 29. Suryakumar Yadav has been in the headlines for his spectacular catch of David Miller at a critical point in the match.
Meanwhile, the Indian team is still stuck in the West Indies due to a hurricane. However, it is reported that BCCI Secretary Jay Shah is arranging for a charter plane for the players to come back to India.
Suryakumar Yadav took a blinder to dismiss David Miller in the final
Suryakumar Yadav took a fantastic catch in the last over of the final game against South Africa to dismiss David Miller. The Proteas needed 16 in the last over, and it was the first ball when Surya used his presence of mind and took a blinder in a pressure situation.
The momentum pushed Suryakumar out of the boundary rope; however, he held his nerves, juggled back, and took the all-important catch to take the match in India's favor.
Hardik Pandya was brilliant in the last over, as India won the match by seven runs. With this, the Men in Blue won their second T20 World Cup and put an end to their 11-year ICC trophy drought.
