Overview

• Speaking on the Unfiltered Podcast, Ambati Rayudu alleged that a chair and screen for the world‑feed pushed the boundary rope back and it was not restored when play resumed.
• The play at issue was Suryakumar Yadav’s juggling catch to dismiss David Miller at Kensington Oval, a pivotal moment as India defeated South Africa by seven runs.
• Rayudu maintained the dismissal was a clean catch but said he could not tell if it would have been six with the rope in its usual spot, a stance Suryakumar also expressed.
• Coverage notes ICC playing conditions that define the boundary by the cushion and require any displaced marker to be treated as in its original position and returned promptly.
• The claim has reignited media scrutiny of the moment, with no sign of an ICC or BCCI review and no change to the official match result.
