‌ILT20 | Twitter lauds seething Hosein's redemption with a double blow post-sitter slip
Comebacks should be better than a setback and Akeal Hosein just walked the talk in the recent ILT20 encounter against the Sharjah Warriors. The left-arm spinner’s frustration spilled out after he celebrated the second wicket on a trot after dropping a sitter of Johnson Charles in the first innings.
On the first ball of the sixth over, Johnson intended to pull a short ball from Fazalhaq Farooqi and ended up incurring a top-edge flying down to mid-on region. Hosein failed to stick his attention on the ball and spilled a regulation chance. However, the dropped chance did not haunt long for Hosein and the MI Emirates as the all-rounder took matters into his own hands.Â
Fifteen balls later, a struggling Charles looked to sweep a fuller-than-a-length delivery and got a thud on the back pad. To his surprise, the umpire gestured for out, and even a review failed to save the Caribbean swashbuckler as the ball drifted away after pitching on the leg stump line and went on to beat the forward defense by a thin margin.Â
It was followed by yet another dismissal when a straighter-kept good-length delivery trapped Basil Hameed after the Emirati cricketer intended the defense on the wrong line. Realizing that he was plumb in front, the right-handed batter trudged off the field without even reviewing and a seething Hosein broke into jubilation after redeeming double the expense he conceded a couple of overs back, resulting in a frenzy in Twitterverse.
