WATCH | 'Lucky' Anderson dropped twice by Kuldeep but hilariously dismissed by teammate
Corey Anderson would not have been wrong to think that it was his lucky day at work when he was dropped twice in one over by Kuldeep Yadav off his own bowling. However, what he hadn't accounted for was his partner at the other end who took matters into his own hands and sent the Kiwi packing.
Kuldeep Yadav has been a revelation since he destroyed Australia in the first innings of the Dharamsala Test to secure a memorable series victory for India. But, that does not mean that he is the finished product yet as he showed his "questionable" fielding skills against Delhi.
With the Daredevils in the comfortable position of 140/4 after 16 overs, Gautam Gambhir decided to risk a spinner against two pinch hitters and the gamble almost paid off. On the second ball of the over, Kuldeep tossed up a ball on off stump and Anderson meekly chipped it back to the bowler who despite being in the best possible position put down the sitter.
Despite the dropped catch, Kuldeep was proving his captain right as he gave away just 5 runs off the five balls. But it could have been even better as he got another bite at the cherry when Anderson hit a tossed up ball straight at Kuldeep again. While this one was hit with some venom, the spinner got both hands to the ball but put it down again as the batsmen stole a run.
With Kuldeep proving it was difficult to get the spinners away, Sunil Narine was handed the ball by Gambhir. Having being gifted two lives, Anderson would have thought that the gods and the KKR side were on his side but what he hadn't accounted for was that Morris was tired of all the lucky breaks. The Kiwi hit a length ball with soft hands and started running. Almost halfway down the pitch, he realized Morris was not interested but by that time, Gambhir and Sheldon Jackson had executed the simplest of run outs to put paid to Anderson.
