We need bowlers who bowl properly and on the right length, at least the yorker length. Overall, India's biggest mistake was dropping three catches, and as a result, their set batters took advantage.”He continued:“Another thing is that when defending a target, we must bowl with discipline in terms of length and direction, which we lacked.”“Our ground fielding and catching were dismal”- Saba Karim wants India to improve fieldingKarim reaffirmed that dropping catches at regular intervals was the primary reason behind the hosts' loss against Australia in Mohali on Tuesday. He said:“Our ground fielding and catching were dismal. Every run matters; If Axar Patel had taken the catch of Cameron Green, Australia wouldn’t have been able to chase down the big target. Steve Smith also added a few runs after the catch drop.”Over Thinker Lawyer 🇵🇰@Mjha_Kyu_NikalaEasy drop Catch by Axar Patel of Cameron Green.#INDvsAUS4Easy drop Catch by Axar Patel of Cameron Green.#INDvsAUS https://t.co/4hvvFfQbn2While Axar Patel dropped Australian opener Cameron Green when he was batting on 42 (19) in the eighth over, KL Rahul failed to hold on to a catch off Steve Smith, who was batting on 18 (13) in the ninth.Over Thinker Lawyer 🇵🇰@Mjha_Kyu_NikalaAnother drop catch by KL Rahul of Steve Smith.#INDvsAUS3Another drop catch by KL Rahul of Steve Smith.#INDvsAUS https://t.co/E1RE8YrQRzHarshal Patel, too, failed to grab Matthew Wade's catch off his own bowling in the 17th over when the southpaw was batting on 23 (14).Souvik 45©@SouvikPurkaya163rd catch dropped!!!!!
