‌ZIM vs IND | Twitter reacts to Ngarava lost in the clouds as Yashasvi lives cat’s life

Winning the third consecutive toss in the series, Shubman Gill’s decision to bat first was backed up by a measured approach by Yashasvi Jaiswal and the captain himself. They racked up 55 runs inside the powerplay despite a few false strokes before a four-run seventh over from Sikandar Raza forced the pair to accelerate further. 

The fourth ball of the eighth over saw Tendai Chatara bowl a fuller delivery well outside the stumps that Jaiswal tried to premeditate for a ramp. But the southpaw was a tad late to get in place to execute the stroke from outside the line and eventually got a top edge. The ball ballooned up towards the short fine leg region where Richard Ngarava seemed more like a sky gazer. He failed to judge the ball midway in the air and allowed the white cherry to drop in front of him. Realising a regulation catch had gone begging, Chatara was seen agonising, leaving the Twitterverse abuzz.

Fielder had no hope!

Stopped it

Sikandar Raza is putting the brakes on India's batting, having dismissed both Abhishek and Jaiswal. He has only conceded 8 runs in his 15 balls.

Wait game

Gill always looks like he is waiting for someone else to rescue ! Rohit, kohli in ODIs & now Jaiswal, abhishek in T20I.....Should take responsibility #INDvZIM

They can't be

Unpopular opinion: Ruturaj and Gill can’t be in the same t20 playing 11

Both have similar playing style suited for #3

Abhishek and Jaiswal have to open to maximise the powerplay!!#INDvsZIM

True

Gill should not have demoted Abhishek, Jaiswal and Abhishek would have scored 120 in the powerplay. #ZIMvIND
