Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders are playing the finals of IPL 2021. Experienced wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik missed a stumping chance early in the game. In this article, we take a look at how Twitter reacted to Dinesh Karthik’s missed stumping chance of Faf du Plessis in the final of IPL 2021.
CSK off to a good start in the final
KKR won the toss and put CSK into bat. They followed the template in the previous knockout games, and hence, Eoin Morgan took the decision. CSK openers have been in good form, and hence, for KKR, an early wicket was important.
However, the KKR squad failed to pick a scalp. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis began well. They started scoring freely and got a 61-run opening partnership. After the wicket of Ruturaj Gaikwad, even Robin Uthappa has started to strike well.
Twitter reacts to Dinesh Karthik’s missed stumping
In the third over of CSK’s batting innings, Dinesh Karthik missed a stumping chance of Faf du Plessis. The opportunity came when Shakib Al Hasan was bowling. It was an important chance Faf had the ability to take the game away from the team. The South African has started doing something similar, hitting a fifty. DK has missed quite a few stumping chances this season and Twitter pointed out this. We take a look at a few more Twitter reactions below:
