Siraj's drop proves costly
Finn Allen is destructive on his day and the Gujarat Titans were guilty of handing him two lives during the clash at Eden Gardens. After Jason Holders shelled a difficult catch at covers, Mohammed Siraj made matters worse.
In the seventh over of the innings, the Kiwi star miscued a hit straight down to Siraj down at long on. The Indian pacer sat down and tried to reverse cup it, only for it to burst through his hands. Allen was batting on 33 when Siraj dropped him and the Kiwi ace proceeded to smash a quick-fire half-century.

Siraj dropping the most important man's catch in every match is inevitable at this point. Such a disgusting fielder he is no matter how improved bowler he's been for GT#KKRvsGT
