However, in a bizarre turn of events, the ball slipped through Kishan\u2019s grasp, leaving everyone in disbelief.<\/p>\n<p>A catch that should have been as simple as a walk in the park turned into a nightmare for India. The ball continued its journey, with the fine leg fielder in pursuit. Ultimately, the ball had enough legs to reach the boundary ropes, gifting Nepal four runs.<\/p>\n<p>This incident marked the third easy catch that India had let slip through their fingers in the match. Earlier, Shreyas Iyer had dropped a crucial catch at first slip, while another chance had gone begging when Virat dropped a sitter.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli\u2019s drop, Ishan Kishan joins the embarrassing list of poor fielding for the day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":30003,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3580,626],"class_list":["post-7096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-asia-cup-2023","tag-ishan-kishan"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7096\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
