Cricket experts say that catches win matches. Surya Kumar Yadav, who took the breathtaking catch of South Africa’s David Miller on the boundary rope with 3 attempts in the T20 World Cup final of 2024, is still in the memory of Indian fans. This catch helped India win the T20 World Cup 2024 final after a gap of 17 years. Cricket fans wouldn’t have forgotten the ‘Superman’ catch by Glenn Phillips of Australia’s Marcus Stonis in the group 12 stage of the T20 World Cup of 2022, which changed the momentum in favor of New Zealand. Let us look at who holds the record of most catches in T20 cricket.
