Washington Sundar’s heated argument with Miller:Bumrah becomes India’s highest wicket-taker in T20 WCs; top moments records

India suffered a crushing 76-run defeat to South Africa in their opening Super 8 encounter of the 2026 edition at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. After winning the toss, the Proteas skipper chose to bat first, and the decision paid off handsomely. David Miller anchored the innings with a fluent 63, while Dewald Brevis chipped in with 45. Tristan Stubbs added a brisk 44 towards the end to power South Africa to a daunting 188-run target. In reply, India’s batting unit faltered under pressure as Marco Jansen ran through the lineup with a devastating four-wicket haul. The Men in Blue were eventually bundled out for 111 in 18.5 overs, handing South Africa a commanding victory. The defeat also marked India’s first loss in an ICC tournament since the 2023 World Cup final. In the match, there were a lot of moments and records created despite the loss of the defending T20 World Champions. Let’s have a look here: IND vs SA, T20 World Cup 2026 Top Moments Corbin Bosch’s stunning catch to dismiss Abhishek Sharma One of the memorable moments of the match came in the second innings when Corbin Bosch took a stunning catch to dismiss Abhishek Sharma. The left-hander, who was looking to break free and make an impact, miscued his flick shot off Marco Jansen on the third ball of the fifth over. The ball went high up in the air and there seemed to be a miscommunication between Keshav Maharaj and Bosch. But despite the mix-up, Bosch managed to hold onto the catch and also did not drop the ball after Maharaj fell on him. Washington Sundar’s argument with David Miller Washington Sundar had a heated discussion with David Miller in the first innings of the match. This incident happened in the 14th over when Tristan Stubbs took a single on the leg side. Washington, perhaps, was not very happy that Miller left his crease early while stepping out for the single and made his feelings known to the umpire. However, Miller, after completing the single, walked back to the bowler’s end and had an argument with Washington. Jasprit Bumrah’s sensational caught-and-bowled effort against Corbin Bosch While the other Indian players had a forgettable time with the ball against South Africa, the same cannot be said for Jasprit Bumrah, who was at his best. The premier pacer registered figures of 3/15 in four overs and one of the highlights of his performance was his magnificent caught-and-bowled effort against Bosch. This happened on the fifth ball of the 19th over when Bosch tried to dig out the yorker straight back at Bumrah. And the pacer, in his follow-through, ended up with a brilliant one-handed catch. The third umpire later deemed that it was not a bump ball but a legitimate catch.
