We already know one in this forum.

So what's the rule behind the boundary rope being moved and being pushed back. The white part shows the boundary rope was moved behind where it was originally intended. Feet did not touch anything but from the up angle you can the the rope beind where it was intended to be. Nothing in the icc rule book about it?

"intended to be" where it is. Not where the line is. When the pitch changes line change. They won't have 100s of lines for each pitch. THey have one standard line. Boundary cushion is the boundary not the line.

Besides that, seen impression of line on turf maybe from previous games.

I'm not a big fan of Dravid as coach as he tends to be reactive and doesn't have the eye for talent (backing Avesh Khan, KS Bharath, getting SKY over Sarfaraz in Tests etc.) but why would any Indian fan be unhappy at winning the WC no matter who the coach or players are

Yeah not a fan of Dravid at all. With his useless bharat, avesh khan , Mukesh Kumar and trundler brigade picks but at least we somehow won a WC. Can't complain about that.

Still thinking about the magnificence of the catch. Could have easily just thrown it back in and saved six but went for catch and nailed it

Given the context (WT20 final) and match situation, it was out of this world. That's why you need folks who're good fielders and need to kick out likes of Chahal.

14 off 5 balls it would have been if he didnt catch but just threw the ball in. Next ball One edged 4. 10 off 4 balls. One quick double 8 off 3 balls. One wide 7 off 3 balls. One four straight down the ground 4 off 2 balls. One slower ball dot. 4 off one ball…. 4 off one ball. Hardik bowling to David Miller.. whole world watching waiting contemplating and we in India praying.. Sanjay Manjrekar sharpening his knife against Virat kohli. Pakistani posters readying for hallelujah.. ICF Fan site being flooded with messages.. Rohit Sharma making changes in field bringing fine leg up and long on back.. Ravi Shastri holding his breath in commentary.. Hardik starts running.. deafening noise in stands..Miller on strike with his bat raised..

 

who knows what would have happened if he didn’t catch but just threw the ball in play.. who knows.. na tum jaano na hum..

That's why the catch was so crucial ang glad we don't have to find out what could've happened

Probably the single greatest catch in Indian cricket history. Don't let all the crying and the sulking about it affect your opinion on that..

 

For all the trust that the TM has shown in SKY since 2021 , he has atleast returned 50% of of the goodwill in a span of 5 seconds.

@Laaloo lale try to have some spine what ever 1 ft lilliput ones you have. Don't just bend down and take pakistani pov how much ever you like bending down. 

 

Its a clean catch. 

 

Have fun rest of icf it's a clean catch.

The catch was clean but the boundary cushions had been moved. Surya crossed the boundary line but didn't touch the cushions.

 

If I was SA fan, I'd be pissed

Where ever the toblerone is at the start of the delivery is where the boundary is and within it is the playing area for both the teams batting and bowling. 

[Vilander]

An other angle 

 

 

 

[Serpico]

as long as the boundary cushion wasn't moved mid-match, what is the problem? it is the same boundary for both the teams thorughout the play, completely fair

[Tillu]

Hardik with that full toss should be eternally greatful to SKY for taking that impossible catch. Had the match gone any other way with the catch missed, Hardiks already miserable life would have been through a living hell.
