Fans overflood Twitter with Litton Das after wicketkeeper’s poor performance in IPL debut

On April 20 against the Delhi Capitals (DC), wicketkeeper Litton Das of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had a disastrous IPL debut. Even though the Bangladeshi star, who was participating in his debut IPL match, only managed to score 4 runs with the bat, KKR was most negatively impacted by his poor wicketkeeping.

Despite just needing to defend a target of 128, Kolkata put Delhi under pressure by a strong start – taking wickets at critical moments, especially with the help of their slower bowlers Varun Chakravarthy and Nitish Rana.

Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav’s key stumpings, though, were both missed by Das, and that provided the Delhi Capitals with the much-needed reprieve.

As soon as the match ended, fans took to Twitter to troll KKR for playing Litton Das and also roasted the wicketkeeper for his blunders. Some even went as far as calling him the worst wicketkeeper in the history of the IPL.

The criticism towards Das was so intense that it became a top trend on Twitter. Fans flooded the social media platform with memes and jokes about the wicketkeeper’s poor performance –
