Ruturaj Gaikwad missed a chance which could have been one of the simplest catches of his career on Saturday (July 13) when India met Zimbabwe in the fourth T20I of the five-match series in Harare.
In the process, Abhishek Sharma, who earlier claimed his maiden international wicket, could not get his success in quick succession.
The incident happened during the 11th over of Zimbabwe’s innings when Brian Bennett tried to play a lofted shot against Abhishek. However, the Zimbabwean could only get a top edge, and Gaikwad had the chance to end his stay.

However, while running back, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain could only manage to get his fingertips on the ball before it landed on the ground.
While Gaikwad could not believe how he missed the chance, the others were upset as well.
Eventually, Brian Bennett could not manage to do much damage, as Wasington Sundar had him for a 14-ball 9 during the 14th over of the innings.
At the time of writing this, Zimbabwe are 108/4 after 15.4 overs.
