Udupi: Indian cricketer Surya Kumar Yadav addressed media queries during his visit to the Sri Hosa Marigudi Temple at Kapu, where he denied any boundary line infringement during his crucial catch in the T20 World Cup final match, attributing the success to divine intervention.
Accompanied by his wife Devisha, Yadav recounted the moment, stating, "I hadn’t touched the boundary line while holding the decisive catch. It was all by the grace of God that I was in that place at that moment to hold such a wonderful catch." He emphasized the role of practice and faith, adding, "We practice to hold such catches during our training sessions. That moment was created by God so that India may get the cup. I had remembered God while holding the catch."
Reflecting on cricket's unpredictable nature, Yadav expressed humility, remarking, "A player cannot become a captain on his own, but he can choose to play well for the country. If God wills, your fate will be alright."

Downplaying his celebrity status, Yadav asserted, "I do not think of myself as a celebrity. I came to the temple as a common man. One must lead a large life as a common man. The World Cup is just a part of life, not the entirety of it."

After seeking blessings at Kapu Marigudi, Yadav expressed contentment, stating, "I experienced peace after the pooja." He expressed interest in returning during the temple's renovation, if given the opportunity.
Devisha Yadav, his wife, expressed her joy after visiting Kapu Marigudi, reminiscing about their previous visit to Udupi and expressing a desire to return for the temple's renovation. She declined to disclose details of her prayers but expressed gratitude for realizing their dream of winning the World Cup.
