“This is straightforward, no excuse”- Ravi Shastri slams Indian team after they drop 3 catches against Nepal on Asia Cup.

India’s decision to bowl first against Nepal in a Group A fixture in Pallekele on Monday, September 4, didn’t start off on the right foot. In the very first over, Shreyas Iyer missed a crucial catch off Mohammed Shami’s delivery, setting a disappointing tone for the fielding side. Adding to the woes, both Virat Kohli and Ishan Kishan also let slip a couple of straightforward chances, leaving the Indian fielding far below the high standards typically associated with Rohit Sharma’s team.

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri didn’t hold back in his criticism of the Indian fielding performance. He expressed his dismay after witnessing three crucial drops within the initial 26 balls of Nepal’s innings

Ravi Shastri got furious and said “Sloppy from India, really! This is straightforward. Ample time. No excuse though from the keeper’s point of view. This is as straightforward as it can get.”
