IND vs NZ | Twitter buzzes as Gill survives after Chapman drops a sitter with Phillips and Latham left dismayed
Being an outstanding fielder requires vigilance in seizing crucial catches and making the most of every opportunity. However, Mark Chapman fell short on the second day of the Test between India and New Zealand, missing a straightforward catch and leaving his team visibly disappointed.
On the first ball of the 27th over, Phillips came around the wicket, delivering a full, tossed-up ball. Gill, the Punjab native, stepped down to loft it over long-on but mistimed it, sending the ball high toward cow corner. Chapman sprinted in, eyes fixed on the ball, positioning himself for the catch. Yet, the ball slipped through, landing between his hands and stomach. Phillips was visibly frustrated, and skipper Latham’s disappointment was evident. Fans on Twitter quickly reacted, sharing their thoughts on Chapman’s missed opportunity.
Oh my god!

Let him play his game!
Gill slowed down after he got dropped ‘cause he’s all about stats and records. Meanwhile, Pant would’ve just gone for it and kept smashing.
