As for having to share the prize pool with six others, Mr Ganda didn't seem fazed and believed it all happened for a reason.
"The thing that I have tried to take in ... to take a catch and have it all happen there's so many things that have to align that literally someone's looking down on you if you take a catch." He initially thought three or four would end up in the final pool, but didn't mind sharing and said each of the "catchers" had their own story about how they made the catch.
He managed to also make it to Tuesday night's nailbiting semifinal - his first time at Eden Park - after his father bought tickets earlier this year.
Mr Ganda was hoping India would beat Australia tonight, and if they made it to Sunday's final he would wear his Black Caps shirt with pride but wrap his India flag around him.
As for where he'd watch it, he was currently scouring for tickets to get to the match in Melbourne.
