When you have less runs on the board and defending that small total against a top class batting side, you want your teammates to convert every little chance to get the game back on your side. But what if they couldn't even make the most of easy chances? Well, that's a big concern for the skipper.
Something similar happened to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Their wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel missed an easy chance of running Suresh Raina out.
With just 127 on the scorecard, RCB were supposed to make it tough for CSK with a tight fielding. Rubbing salt in the wound, the 33-year-old further dropped Dwayne Bravo when things could have been tricky for Chennai and they would not have won by 6 wickets easily.
Don't know what was Virat's reaction in the dressing room, but Twitter was surely on fire after the mishaps.
Here are the tweets:
Legendary #Parthivpatel is so consistent with his keeping . Loosing matches for his teams from last 2 decades with his keeping
