Rishabh Pant Reflects on Win in T20 World Cup Final

Rishabh Pant praised Suryakumar Yadav's remarkable catch during the T20 World Cup 2024 final against South Africa, which was pivotal in India's seven-run victory. Pant initially thought David Miller's shot would result in a six, but Yadav's stunning catch changed the game's momentum. He humorously attributed the catch's success to the prayers of Indian fans, stating, 'the ball didn't cross the boundary line because of the Indian fans' prayers.' Pant, who made his return to international cricket after a 16-month injury hiatus, expressed how winning the World Cup was a cherished dream, yet emphasized the need to focus on upcoming matches. He is set to play in the Test series against Bangladesh starting September 19. The overall sentiment was one of gratitude for the victory while also looking ahead to future challenges.
