Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders are taking part in the finals of IPL 2021. The game has seen a rare drop catch by the legendary MS Dhoni. In this article, we take a look at how Twitter reacted to a rare drop catch by MS Dhoni in the final of IPL 2021.
KKR openers start well
After being put in to bat first, CSK openers were off to a cautious start. However, after Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis got a hang of the pitch, they started going big. They shared a 61-run partnership before Gaikwad got out. Eventually, CSK posted a total of 192.
KKR, who had been chasing lower totals since then, would have been under pressure, that too, in a final game. However, the openers have started well. Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill have made good progress, not losing their wicket in the powerplay.
Twitter reacts to rare drop catch by MS Dhoni
When Venkatesh Iyer was batting at 0, MS Dhoni dropped a catch of the player. The bowler was Josh Hazlewood. It was a sharp bouncer and Iyer had a thick edge. However, at the last moment, the ball wobbled and it became a difficult catch for MSD. Usually, he would have got hold of it but on this occasion, the CSK captain failed. Twitter was surprised at the turn of events. We look at a few reactions below:
That drop by dhoni is because ball defied physics. It had dip and swing unconventionally . Have to give it to iyer.#CSKvsKKR #CSK #MSDhoni pic.twitter.com/Da01MzQ7wT

I’ve hardly ever see @msdhoni drop a simple catch. Will CSK pay the price for this as KKR did after Karthik gave Faf du Plessis a reprieve I wonder
