'Has Chahar dropped trophy': CSK pacer's huge Shubman Gill mistake leaves fans furious

Chennai Super Kings pacer Deepak Chahar has probably committed one of the biggest mistakes of his cricketing career and it may cost his team the IPL 2023 trophy. Chahar dropped Gujarat Titans' in-form batsman Shubman Gill while fielding at square leg. The incident occurred during the second over of Gujarat's innings when CSK's Tushar Deshpande was bowling with the new ball. Gill was batting at 3 off 4 balls. 

Gill tried to flick a fuller delivery from Deshpande but the ball went in the air, providing CSK with a golden chance. However, Chahar, who was fielding at square leg, dropped the simple catch, giving Gill another chance in the middle. Note, Gill was dropped on 30 by Mumbai Indians' Tim David in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2023 last week. The 23-year-old went on to smash a century to help his team post a mammoth total on the board.
