IPL 2022 has already begun and the third match of the tournament is being played between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). PBKS won the toss and they opted to bowl first. RCB posted a mammoth total of 205/2 in the first innings. Faf Du Plessis played key role in the big total scoring 88 runs from 57 balls. Virat Kohli also scored unbeaten 41 runs from 29 balls.
Punjab Kings started the chase well as they scored 63 runs in the power play without losing any wicket. Anuj Rawat was impressive in the field taking two good catches of Shikhar Dhawan and LIam Livingstone. However, Rawat dropped a simple catch of Odean Smith who played a cameo in the back end of the innings. In the 17th over of the innings, Smith tried to play an attacking shot to a delivery outside off and lofted it in the air towards deep extra cover. Rawat judged the ball correctly but the ball popped out of his hands.
Here is how Twitter reacted to the incident.
Unfortunate!

Catch drop is part of game happens with anyone... If you cant praise him for those 2 brilliant catches & fielding efforts then you doesn't have right to criticize him for a rare miss
It will cost PBKS quite heavily!

Dropped match!
Anuj Rawat could have possibly dropped the match from his hands. Odean Smith is living on the edge a dropped catch and on the very next ball Harshal missed a simple runout. These chances may come back to haunt RCB.#PBKS #PunjabKings #RCBvPBKS
