In the final match against South Africa, Hardik Pandya bowled an impressive over. However, it was Suryakumar Yadav's incredible catch that stood out. On the first ball of the over, Surya caught David Miller under immense pressure, saving six crucial runs for India.

Rohit Sharma witnessed this remarkable catch from long-on while Surya was at long-off. This catch is now considered one of the greatest in Indian cricket history.
