IPL 2021 Final: MS Dhoni Drops an Easy Catch; Rare Error Draws Criticism on Twitterverse During CSK vs KKR

IPL Final, CSK vs KKR: Dhoni dropped the catch of Venkatesh Iyer when the KKR opener was yet to get off the mark.

Dubai: It is not every day that you see MS Dhoni drop an easy catch. He did the unexpected during the IPL final on Friday in Dubai against KKR. CSK captain Dhoni dropped the catch of Venkatesh Iyer when the KKR opener was yet to get off the mark. Time will tell how costly the miss turns out to be. It was a quick, fast bouncer from Josh Hazlewood which Iyer knicked. It seemed like the ball was a little higher than Dhoni expected.

Here is how fans reacted to the catch drop:

You are losing this, #MSDhoni . That dropped catch is going to haunt for a long time#cskvskkr2021

Momentum shifted towards @KKRiders, the moment @msdhoni missed the catch. Need to bring it back @ChennaiIPL. #Whistlepodu #CSKvKKR #IPL2O21 #IPL2021Final

Earlier in the game, Faf du Plessis was given a lifeline when Dinesh Karthik missed a stumping. The CSK opener went on to hurt KKR as he smashed a brilliant 86 off 59 balls.
