Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav etched his name in the history books after a stunning catch in the 2024 T20 World Cup final to dismiss David Miller. Yadav was just centimeters away from the boundary rope when he took the catch. He then went out of the boundary, threw the ball up in the air, came back and caught it again to complete the catch.
Suryakumar Yadav's catch on the first ball of the 20th over helped India defeat South Africa by seven runs in the T20 World Cup final. Courtesy of his incredible catch, Yadav has become the talk of the town, and popular social media creators have been making reels about the catch.
A popular Instagram creator named Tejas Gaikwad created a reel about how a Bollywood movie director would shoot the catch if a biopic was made about Suryakumar Yadav. The creator decided to take a long pause when Yadav was outside the boundary.
While Yadav came back quickly in real life, the creator decided to add background dialogues to hype up the catch even more. The reel went viral, and reached Yadav as well, who left the following comment:
"Bhai yaar itne der me match ho jaata (laughing emojis) thank you so much." (Bro, the match would have ended in this much time.)

Tejas Gaikwad's reel has gone viral on Instagram, with more than two million users liking the reel. Suryakumar commented on the reel, and his comment has fetched more than 300,000 likes as well.
