“At that moment I didn't think I would catch it, I was thinking I would push the ball in and save the boundary because the wind was also against me. Once I had the ball in my hand I thought I would throw it to the other side, but Rohit bhai was too far away at that time so I threw it in the air and caught it,” he said.

"We have practiced a lot for such situations because I think I already bat but where else can I contribute for the team," Yadav told the Honorable Prime Minister.

India had to defend 16 runs in the last over, thanks to the brilliant last few overs from Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh, who allowed the opposition to score only two and four runs in their respective overs. Hardik Pandya's first ball might not have been where he wanted to bowl, but a brilliant effort from Suryakumar at long off dismissed David Miller and helped India lift the trophy.

PM Modi also asked if the team practiced taking catches so close to the boundary ropes 'where you might have to throw the ball in the air', to which Rahul Dravid revealed that Surya took '150-160 such catches' Are' practice.'

“Ever since I came from IPL, I have taken many such catches but did not know that God would give me a chance at such a time. Practice helped me stay calm at that time. The only difference was that normally no one was sitting in the stands, but there were a lot of people that time,” Sky joked.
