One player is being blamed for India’s defeat. Actually, the fans are blaming this defeat on Prasidh Krishna. Let us know what Prasidh did that fans are holding him responsible for the defeat.
Prasidh Krishna dropped the catch of Daryl Mitchell
Team India had given a target of 285 runs to New Zealand, chasing which the Kiwi team had reached close to 200 runs at the loss of just two wickets in 35 overs. There was a century partnership between Daryl Mitchell and Will Young. Both the batsmen were playing scoring half centuries. India was looking for a wicket here. Then the famous Krishna made a big mistake.
Actually, Prasidh dropped an easy catch on the fourth ball of the 36th over of the innings. This catch was of Daryl Mitchell. Mitchell tried to hit a big shot on the fourth ball of Kuldeep Yadav, but the ball went in the air. While running, Prasidh came under the ball, but the ball was snatched from his hand. Mitchell was currently batting on 83 runs. If India had got this wicket, it could have made a comeback in the match, because Mitchell took full advantage of this gift of life, first scored a century and then scored unbeaten 131 runs to give victory to New Zealand.
