Indian Team drops catches against Nepal in the Asia Cup, Fans create funny memes (check them out)
In the Asia Cup 2023 group-stage match held at the Pallekele International Stadium on Monday, Team India encountered some early fielding mishaps as Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli dropped catches from the Nepal opening batters. Team India had chosen to bowl first after winning the toss, and Mohammed Shami, making his return to the squad, had an opportunity to make an early breakthrough when Kushal Bhurtel nicked one off the final delivery of the first over.
Shreyas Iyer, positioned at first slip, had to adjust his position slightly to his right to attempt the catch but failed to get into an ideal position and missed the chance, granting the opening batter a significant reprieve.
In the second over of the innings, Mohammed Siraj immediately created another opportunity when he induced Aasif Sheikh into a loose shot on the off-side. The ball popped towards cover point, where Virat Kohli dropped what should have been a straightforward catch.
Kushal Bhurtel received yet another lifeline when Ishan Kishan, positioned behind the wickets, dropped a straightforward catch off Mohammed Shami’s bowling.
Fans on social media started to create memes after seeing so much catch drops of Nepal by the Indian Team. Here are some the memes
