NEW DELHI: Suryakumar Yadav 's breathtaking catch in the thrilling final against South Africa in Barbados will forever be etched in the memories of cricket fans worldwide.
His incredible feat was a pivotal moment that swung the match in India's favor, ultimately leading to their seven-run victory and securing the prestigious T20 World Cup trophy.
Since that unforgettable T20 World Cup final, numerous players have tried to replicate Suryakumar's exceptional skills on the field.
In a recent incident, Saim Ayub , a Pakistani cricketer currently representing Panthers Pakistan in the Champions One Day Cup, attempted to execute a catch reminiscent of Suryakumar's brilliance.
However, his efforts ended in a disastrous failure, and the video of his catching blunder quickly spread across social media platforms.
The incident occurred during the 18th over of the Dolphins Pakistan innings when Muhammad Akhlaq launched a high shot off Usama Mir's bowling.
Ayub, positioned at long off, successfully caught the ball but, in an attempt to mimic Suryakumar's style, inadvertently threw it beyond the boundary ropes, conceding six runs.
WATCH:
Ayub's misfielding and failed attempt to secure the catch sparked a wave of trolling on social media.
Prior to this incident, Ayub had already found himself at the center of online amusement when his unsuccessful attempt at playing a no-look shot resulted in his dismissal.
