Yo, in the T20 World Cup 2026, Harmeet Singh was feelin’ that groove after takin’ down Axar Patel for 14 runs, ya feel me? At Wankhede, he spun that ball slick, and boom, catch by Mohsin at deep mid-wicket. India was lookin’ shaky at 118/7, but Suryakumar Yadav held it down with a cool half-century, keepin’ the vibes alive, fo’ shizzle.
