More than a year after Team India triumphant moment at the T20 World Cup 2024 final against South Africa, Ambati Rayudu has made a staggering revelation. The catch by Suryakumar Yadav to dismiss David Miller proved to be the turning point in the game. The catch also triggered controversy, as replays showed the boundary rope was pushed back a little. Rayudu, who was one of the commentators, has now revealed what really happened before the catch.

During the ‘Unfiltered Podcast’, Rayudu revealed that the world feed team had placed a chair and a screen at the spot to help broadcasters. When the chair was placed, the boundary rope was pushed back slightly. However, even after the chair and screen were removed, the rope was not moved back to its original place.

“There were world feed commentators. During the break, what usually happens is they put a chair there and a screen in order to help the broadcasters see what is happening. That is why they pushed the rope backwards a little bit. But, they left it like that (even after taking the screen and the chair away). That is how the boundary became a little bigger for us. We (the commentators) could see it from above. It was god’s plan,” said Rayudu.

Surya’s Response and Rayudu’s Final Word

When asked if it was a six, Suryakumar said: “I don’t know if it was a six (in natural circumstances) or not. If the rope had been placed at its normal position, maybe Surya would’ve run from inside.”

On the controversy, Rayudu maintained that it was a clean catch. “End of the day, God was with us,” he concluded. Some current and former cricketers had raised questions about the rope placement after the catch. However, the controversy soon died down.
