Cricket is a funny game which sometimes brings the players down to the fact that even the best players can have a bad day. Similarly, during the game of the 11th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), one of the best fielders of India Ravindra Jadeja was seen dropping two catches in consecutive deliveries on Thursday.

KKR defeated CSK and their skipper termed that their poor fielding was the reason for their loss. However, it was not only Jadeja as even others made some fumbles on the field and the team was down in intensity during the course of the game.

The Men in Yellow failed to defend the total of 177 and were handed over the crushing the defeat at the hands of Dinesh Karthik and his men who were clinical throughout.

It was important for CSK to keep the opening pair of KKR, Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine, quiet and they started well by bowling to the plan and scalped the former cheaply. The young speedster KM Asif also employed the same tactics and kept Narine on his toes as he bluffed the batsman as the shortish length delivery, the fifth ball of the over, was slapped straight to mid-off where Ravindra Jadeja was stationed. He dropped a straight-forward chance and failed to cling on in the second attempt as well.

Jadeja’s redemption chance came on the very next ball as Narine was deceived by the pace and once again mistimed the loft straight to Jaddu again. This time the southpaw timed his leap perfectly and reached the ball but couldn’t catch only to add to the frustration of the bowler and the skipper. If Jadeja had managed to catch one of those, the result might have been different as the pressure on KKR would’ve increased.

As it turned out, the hosts got off to a smashing start and gunned down the chase in the 18th over itself.
