‘Best Fielder’ winner Surya’s sensational catch of dangerous David Miller was the mix of perfect judgement, composure and athleticism

Suryakumar Yadav

Mumbai boy Suryakumar Yadav is known for his big-hitting. However, his extraordinary catch in the T20 World Cup final, which sent back  South Africa’s David Miller (21 off 17) helped India bounce back to win by seven runs in Bridgetown, Barbados, on Saturday. Suryakumar’s first coach, Ashok Aswalkar and his Parsee Gymkhana coach Vinayak Mane reckoned that the catch was a game-changer in every sense.

Aswalkar compared the catch to the one India’s 1983 World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev took to dismiss West Indies’ Viv Richards off Madan Lal in the final. On Saturday, Suryakumar held on to one just near the long-on rope on the first ball of the 20th over, bowled by pacer Hardik Pandya, by balancing perfectly and with splendid presence of mind.
