A dramatic moment unfolded during the ongoing second ODI between India and England as Harshit Rana felt let down by his ex-KKR teammate Shreyas Iyer. The ace speedster had a golden opportunity to dismiss England's in-form batter Ben Duckett; however, Iyer couldn't hold on to the catch, disappointing the bowler in this process. 

The incident occurred during the twelfth over of England's innings when Duckett was trying to steady the ship alongside former captain Joe Root following Phil Salt's dismissal. From around the wicket, Rana bowled a short delivery outside the off stump, as Duckett tried to dispatch the delivery with brute power. 

Although the southpaw played a well-connected shot, the ball went towards Shreyas Iyer, who was fielding in the deep. Despite covering a significant distance and timing his dive to perfection, Iyer failed to complete the catch. 


As a result, Duckett survived a certain dismissal despite Iyer's valiant effort near the ropes. Although the former KKR skipper tried his heart out, Rana wasn't impressed with the effort, expressing his disappointment with an animated reaction. 

England Get A Solid Start In 2nd ODI

After winning the toss and opting to bat first, England had a sensational start to their innings, with Phil Salt and Ben Duckett exploiting Cuttack's batting-friendly surface. Before being dismissed by Varun Chakravarthy, Salt managed 26 runs off 29 deliveries. Duckett, on the other hand, struck ten glorious boundaries for his 65-run knock. As of writing, England were 102 for two in 15.5 overs, with Joe Root and Harry Brook batting in the middle.
