Several fielding blunders played a massive role in England’s heart-breaking defeat against India on March 5. The moment came early in India’s innings when a simple Sanju Samson chance flew towards Harry Brook at mid-on, but he misjudged the catch and the ball slipped away.

Tom Banton failed to grab a difficult running catch that could have removed Hardik Pandya. Even though Brook later produced a sharp direct hit to run out Shivam Dube, the earlier dropped chances kept hurting England as the match went down to the wire.
Harry Brook admits fielding mistakes hurt England badly
Brook admitted that the miss was a huge mistake, and he knew instantly how costly it could become. As Samson’s score kept climbing on the big screen, the pressure only grew on Brook, and at one stage, he even felt that he would need to play a massive knock himself to make up for the costly error.
Unfortunately for England, Brook himself could not make up for the mistake. His innings ended very early after a brilliant fielding effort by Axar Patel, who ran a long distance and completed a stunning diving catch off Jasprit Bumrah. The skipper could face only 6 balls for 7 runs in the big game.

Axar was not done there. The Indian all-rounder again showed incredible fielding skills later when Will Jacks looked dangerous during a strong partnership with the centurion Jacob Bethell. The Indian all-rounder sprinted across the boundary and helped complete a brilliant relay catch with Dube.
