Team India defeated South Africa in the final of T20 World Cup 2024. Apart from the batting of Virat Kohli and Akshar Patel, Shivam Dubey’s cameo, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya’s bowling, Suryakumar Yadav’s catch were worth seeing in this match. However, former Team India captain and veteran commentator Sunil Gavaskar has drawn attention to Rishabh Pant’s tactics. He has told how Rishabh Pant’s clever trick turned out to be a boon for Team India. He has also given an example of it.

And David Miller was batting well so he called the physio and got some treatment.”
Gavaskar further said, “Rishabh Pant’s knee was strapped by the physio and play was stopped for about 4-5 minutes. This had the effect of breaking Klaassen’s rhythm and giving the captain and the bowler some time. Klaassen and Miller’s rhythm At the break, Klaasen was out on the second ball.
