Punjab Kings (PBKS) fielders were sloppy on the field during their clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Monday (April 12). They dropped a few important catches and fielding coach Jonty Rhodes wasn't pleased.

It was the third over of Rajasthan's chase when Arshdeep Singh showed good reflexes and took a brilliant catch to dismiss Manan Vohra off his own bowling. Jonty was delighted to see the effort and even gave a reaction to it. 

But later in the same over, Jonty went silent after captain KL Rahul dropped Sanju Samson behind the stumps. Eventually, Samson, who was dropped on 12 runs, went on to score 119. It nearly cost them the match but fortunately, Punjab won the game on the last ball by four runs.

Here are those moments:

After the match, a fan posted a meme featuring a character from Lagaan movie who drops a lot of catches. The fan wrote he feels bad for the Punjab fielding coach. 

To which, Jonty replied and said he's happy as they have got the two important points. He wrote, "Don't feel bad for me, I will take the win over a great fielding display any day!! #work2bdone #wegotthepoints #startwithawin."
