CSK vs GT | Twitter reacts to fuming Mitchell as Deshpande's sloppy fielding adds to CSK's miseries

Losing the toss worked wonders for Gujarat Titans as Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan laid a strong groundwork, scoring 58/0 within the powerplay. Additionally, Sudharshan went on to score a splendid fifty off 32 deliveries taking the Gujarat scorecard to 107/0 in 10 overs. The Chennai brigade looked desperate for a wicket as Gill scored a brisk 25-ball fifty. The duo took no stone unturn to slow down and cruised the scorecard to 143/0 in 12 overs. However, things continued to worry the visitors when Daryl Mitchell lost his temper when Tushar Deshpande’s lacklustre work gifted a six to the Gujarat Titans. 

On the 14th over's third ball, the Kiwi star delivered a length ball to Gill who aimed to launch it over long-off for a six. Despite striking it forcefully, the Gujarat skipper's timing faltered, propelling the white rock toward long-off fielder Tushar Deshpande. Simultaneously, the Mumbai bowler misjudged the ball's path allowing it to slip past him, grazing Deshpande's hand and sailing over for a six. Following Deshpande's blunder, Mitchell appeared fumed and unable to fathom his teammate's poor fielding.



The Twitterverse swiftly reacted to Deshpande's fielding lapse flooding social media platforms with discussions about the incident.

Why??

Why would you keep Tushar Deshpande at long on ffs? That's where the ball goes a lot of times. You keep your best fielders at such positions
