IPL 2023, CSK vs RR | Twitter trolls Moeen Ali's sloppy work as he botches simple run out after two dropped catches
Usually, when a mixup occurs between the two batters against CSK, it leads to one of them walking back to the pavilion with fielders having a simple runout chance at the hand. However, Moeen Ali did the unusual, missing a simple chance to run out Ashwin by missing his throw by a huge margin.
While batting first against Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals scored 135/4 by the end of 15 overs led by Jos Buttler’s aggressive knock. Buttler has crossed the fifty-run mark and is having a brilliant day on a surface where there is assistance for the spinners. However, on the other side, there is Moeen Ali who had a horrendous day on the field and was also smacked with some massive hits while bowling.
Moeen had already dropped two half-chances in the innings but his blunder in the 14th over drew a lot of criticism. Ravichandran Ashwin pushed the third ball of the over from Maheesh Theekshana to cover and Moeen was fielding at the position inside the 30-yard circle. Ashwin intended to sneak a single and was halfway down the track. However, Jos Buttler was hesitant to go for the run and there was a mix-up between the two.
Moeen Ali first fumbled the ball but when he collected it with a resolute mind, a clear cut run-out opportunity was on the cards with Ashwin miles away from the batting crease. The England all-rounder then scripted a twist in the tale missing his aim with a throw that was well wide of Dhoni. The Twiterrati noticed the incident and bashed the cricketer for his poor show with fielding skills.
That was wild throw from Moeen Ali!
