IND vs SA: R Ashwin & Rohit Sharma left shocked as Virat Kohli dropped a dolly

Virat Kohli left everyone shocked on the field as he dropped an absolute sitter in the game against South Africa.

It was probably one of the simplest catches as per the standards set by Virat Kohli on the field that too in a crunch situation.

Rohit, Ashwin left shocked as Kohli dropped a sitter

Team India were in a spot of bother as the partnership between Aiden Markram and David Miller helped South Africa cruise towards India’s total. In the 12th over of South Africa’s chase Ravichandran Ashwin created an opportunity for the Indian team to pull the opponents back.

Aiden Markram pulled Ashwin’s delivery towards the deep wicket region where Virat Kohli was fielding. The ball travelled straight towards Virat and all he had to do was grab hold of the ball as the ball was at a comfortable height as well.

Everyone on the field keenly looked towards Virat expecting him to take the easy catch which he couldn’t even after making the second attempt as the ball fumbled through his hands. Ashwin was left in utter disbelief while Rohit Sharma had both hands on his head as they had probably not seen Virat drop such a sitter ever.

The video of Ashwin’s reaction has gone viral now on social media. The premier off-spinner knew how costly this drop would be for the Indian Team considering the caliber of Aiden Markram who’s the top-ranked African batter.

Kohli himself couldn’t believe what he had done and he kept smiling after the drop as he knew that it was a costly drop that could result in Team India’s loss. Things got even worse as Rohit Sharma missed out on an easy run-out opportunity to get rid of Markram.

Aiden Markram went on to score a half-century and finished at 52 off 41 as he took the game away from Team India as the Proteas chased down the total in the last over.

David Miller stood along with Markram as he scored a crucial knock of 59 runs off just 46 deliveries which led to South Africa’s win as they reached the top of the points table in Group-2.
