IPL 2022: Ravindra Jadeja missed two catches.© BCCI/IPL
Twitter went haywire when Ravindra Jadeja dropped two catches and MS Dhoni missed an easy punch in Chennai Super Kings (CSK) win against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Thursday. Jadeja missed the first catch on the final delivery of Mitchell Santner’s second over as Dewald Brevis steered it towards mid-off with the CSK skipper coming in from extra cover. He missed another catch in the 12th left and dropped Hrithik Shokeen. Meanwhile, Dhoni missed a chance to send Suryakumar Yadav back to the pavilion as he missed an easy stumping. People reacted to the drama on Twitter with former Delhi Capitals (DC) spinner Amit Mishra leading the reactions.
“Jadeja dropping a catch and missing MSD a punch is like Shahid Afridi hitting sensibly with open eyes. No one can believe it happened,” he wrote.
