"The catch made by Suryakumar Yadav would have been awarded not out if...: The pivotal catch controversy from SKY's T20 World Cup final gets reignited by Tabraiz Shamsi.

 South African spinner Tabraiz Shamsi recently shared his thoughts on the outcome of the T20 World Cup 2024 final, suggesting that the result might have been different if Suryakumar Yadav's catch had been reviewed more closely. In response to a viral video, Shamsi hinted that a detailed examination of the catch could have led to it being overturned. The final match, played at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, was a memorable showdown between India and South Africa. India ultimately clinched victory in a nail-biting finish, pulling off a win from the jaws of defeat. A pivotal moment in the final over was when Suryakumar Yadav took a spectacular catch near the boundary to dismiss David Miller.

South Africa needed 16 runs to win in the last over. Hardik Pandya bowled a full toss on the first ball, which David Miller struck with force. The ball seemed destined to clear the boundary for a six, but Suryakumar Yadav made an extraordinary play. Demonstrating remarkable skill and awareness, Yadav leaped high and managed to grab the ball just inches inside the boundary ropes. He then threw the ball back into play, before stepping out, to complete the catch, effectively dismissing Miller and securing India's triumph in the T20 World Cup 2024.

Following India's dramatic victory, Suryakumar Yadav's crucial catch was widely celebrated, earning him praise for his quick thinking and athleticism. However, the legality of the catch was questioned by some, who speculated that Yadav may have inadvertently touched the boundary rope while completing the catch, which would have resulted in a six for South Africa and potentially changed the outcome of the game. 

Two months after the final, Tabraiz Shamsi made a light-hearted remark about the catch. Commenting on a humorous video where players were seen using ropes to measure the boundary to check the validity of a catch, Shamsi suggested that if the International Cricket Council (ICC) had used this method during the final, David Miller might not have been given out. "If they used this method to check the catch in the World Cup final maybe it would have been given not out," Shamsi wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

After his comment sparked some reactions, Shamsi clarified his intentions, stressing that his remark was meant to be taken as a joke and not a serious criticism of the decision. He humorously added, "In case some people don't understand that it's meant to be a joke and no one is crying... let me explain it to you like a 4-year-old child. It's A Joke."
