Xavier Bartlett’s gully cricketer-like awful fielding blunder angers Yuzvendra Chahal

Punjab Kings leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal had a decent start with the ball to his spell in the ongoing game against Kolkata Knight Riders. The match between the two teams is taking place at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur.

Yuzvendra Chahal, who was introduced into the attack in the 8th over, didn’t take long to make an impact. The leg-spinner removed Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Ajinkya Rahane and kept things tight with the ball in his opening over while defending a low total.

Yuzvendra Chahal, however, on the very next ball, got extremely angry because of the fielding blunder made by Xavier Bartlett. The leg-spinner bowled a slower and fuller delivery on middle and leg to Venkatesh Iyer, who got low to sweep and what was a regulation single to deep backward square leg has turned into 5.

Xavier Bartlett, who was at deep backward square-leg, threw the ball and it slipped out and hit his right shoulder and bounced away past the cushions. Since Bartlett fielded it clean and was in the process of throwing it back, it was counted as four overthrows and a total of 5.

Watching him make the fielding blunder, Yuzvendra Chahal was extremely furious with the way he gave away extra runs. The video of the incident went viral on the internet within seconds. Here’s the clip:

What’s happened there?! 😳

Has the game slipped from #PBKS or can they muster a comeback from here? 🫠
