After India’s poor catching in the first T20I in Hyderabad, in which a total of five catches were dropped, hosts did not fare any better in the 2nd T20I at Thiruvanathapuram on Sunday – this time dropping as many as three catches. While India won the first T20I despite the sloppy effort, thanks largely to Virat Kohli’s brilliant 94 not out, in the second T20I, the drop catches did cost India the game, helping West Indies draw level in the three-match series. Skipper Kohli was also critical of the team’s fielding stating that no total would be enough if the team fields like this. However, it was the skipper himself who led from the front in the field and took a phenomenal running catch in the deep to remove West Indies’ Shimron Hetmyer.
