The young Rajasthan Royals (RR) seamer, Chetan Sakariya enjoyed a phenomenal outing with the ball on Monday, but on the field, however, the youngster endured an embarrassing moment that he’d like to forget. Fielding at point, he failed to dive at the right time as the youngster cost RR four runs, for which he was lambasted by Chris Morris.

After what Chris Morris did with the bat against Delhi last week, he was high on confidence. However, he had no right to lash out at one of the team’s brightest youngsters, Chetan Sakariya, in front of a hundred cameras. Having dismissed danger-man Ravindra Jadeja on the third ball of the 19th over, Morris, on ball five, delivered an inch-perfect yorker to the new batsman, Dwayne Bravo.

The West Indian, who was lining up a big heave, was bamboozled by Morris’ execution as he only managed to dig the ball out and hit it innocuously between backward point and short third man. However, what was supposed to be a dot – or, at worst, a single – inexplicably turned into a boundary as the fielder, Chetan Sakariya, failed to time his dive and let the ball roll past him to the boundary rope.

Misfields are a part and parcel of the game but the bowler, Morris, was lost his temper after the incident. As soon as the ball went to the boundary rope, the South African let out a stream of invective and chastised young Sakariya, who wasn’t happy with himself after conceding that boundary. Morris is generally a cricketer who likes to smile his teammates’ mistakes off, but it was indeed some sight to see the Proteas ace transform into Hulk for a good few seconds.
