Later, the ball crossed the boundary line through the gap between Patel and Cheteshwar Pujara who was standing at first slip. After dropping the catch, Patel was seen giving a death stare to Pujara as if to say it was his catch and the Twitter users fumed over the lost opportunity.
“See this and see today’s. @parthiv9 pointed out “his” simple catch to the first slip’s catch. Sad. #INDvSA #SAvIND #FreedomSeries #Day3,” wrote a fan on Twitter.
” An injured Saha or a retired Dhoni can do better than a fit & fine Parthiv Patel. #SAvInd,” another Tweet from a fan read.
