IND vs NZ | Twitter and Akash Chopra gutted as Shami replicates caught and bowled botch from semi-final clash
Controlling one's emotions can be difficult in pressure circumstances, and it was evident with Aakash Chopra, seated in the commentary box at the eve of the 2025 Champions Trophy Final. The cause was Mohammad Shami’s missed catch and bowled opportunity to draw first blood in the grand final.
Rohit Sharma lost his twelfth consecutive toss while playing for India, and New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner decided to bat first on a strip that staged the India versus Pakistan clash. Openers Will Young and Rachin Ravindra backed the skipper’s decision with flawless batting against the pacers, assisted by a bit of poor fieldwork from the Men in Blue.
After a couple of dots to initiate the seventh over, Shami sprayed a fuller delivery at the stumps that Ravindra played straight back down the line. The southpaw ended up lofting the ball straight back towards the bowler’s hand, who failed to grasp it firmly. The white cherry thudded the side of Shami’s palm before ricocheting behind, allowing rotation of strike. Shami missed a couple of similar chances off his bowling against Australia in the semi-final, and replicating a similar, sparked Twitterverse frenzy.
Trouble!
