However, his tournament started on a bad note as he dropped a crucial catch. Umesh Yadav was bowling the third over of the innings and he bowled a delivery going away from Quinton de Kock. The southpaw tried to play across the line but only managed to top-edge the ball in a valiant attempt. The ball flew to the third-man area and Tomar almost grabbed the catch. He put a dive forward but failed to cling on the ball.

Here is the video of the dropped catch by Abhijeet Tomar:
