During the second match of Super 4 stage in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022, India pacer Arshdeep Singh found𝄹 himself on the wrong side of mis-field in a cru𝓰nch situation.
On the third delivery of the 18th over in the second innings, Pakistan batter Asif Ali tried to send the ball out of the park, but top-edged a slog off India leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi only to end up playing a nothing shot.
Arshdeep, fielding at short third man, dropped a sitter. Had he taken that catch, Pakistan could have gone on back foot in the chase and India would have got a grip on the game. It was not to be as Babar Azam & Co. won the contest by five wickeꦉts in hand.
Indian fans lost their cool on Arshdeep♒ and brutally roasted the young🎃 seamer.
Former India batter Subramaniam Badrinath too took to Twitter to point out Arshdeep’s “lethargic” fielding effort at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. “Winning and Losing are a part of the sport, but the drop catch from Arshdeep was too lethargic,” he wrote.
