[Watch] "Core memories for life" - Suryakumar Yadav shares 360-degree camera angle view of India's 2024 T20 World Cup victory parade
Team India batter Suryakumar Yadav recently gave fans a 360-degree camera angle view of the 2024 T20 World Cup victory parade. The Men in Blue stars celebrated in an open-roof bus with a huge crowd of fans welcoming them at Marine Drive in Mumbai on July 4.
The parade ended at the Wankhde Stadium, where a felicitation ceremony was held for the T20 World Cup-winning squad. Suryakumar shared a video on his official Instagram handle, giving fans a glimpse of the atmosphere on the bus.
In the clip, skipper Rohit Sharma can be heard talking about the parade, while Suryakumar remarked that the crowd won't let India's team bus move forward.
Suryakumar Yadav captioned the post:
"Core memories for life👏✨ Thank you for the unreal love and support🫡♥️."
India defeated South Africa by seven runs in the 2024 T20 World Cup final. Suryaumar was dismissed for just three runs in the summit clash. However, he made amends by claiming a stunning juggling catch at the boundary to dismiss the dangerous David Miller in the 20th over.
"There are more than 1,000 unread WhatsApp messages on my phone" - Suryakumar Yadav on reaction to his catch in the 2024 T20 World Cup final
Suryakumar Yadav's catch swung the pendulum in India's favor in the closely contested final against South Africa. The Proteas needed 16 runs to win off the final over, with a well-set David Miller at the crease.
Miller kicked off the over by hitting a low full toss from Hardik Pandya down the ground. While it initially appeared that the ball might clear the fence, Suryakumar had other plans. He grabbed an excellent running catch to win the match for India.
Opening up on the important catch, here's what Suryakumar said during a conversation with The Indian Express:
"So when the ball was coming, for a second I looked at him and he looked at me. I ran and my aim was to catch the ball, had he (Rohit) been closer, I would have thrown the ball towards him. But he was nowhere close. In those 4-5 seconds, whatever happened, I can't explain. The amount of reaction I have been getting for that, people have been calling, messaging, there are more than 1,000 unread WhatsApp messages on my phone. The catch is all over social media. I'm grateful that I was there in those five seconds of play."
Suryakumar Yadav was India's second-highest run-getter at the 2024 T20 World Cup. He finished with 199 runs from eight outings at an average of 28.42.
