RR vs SRH | Twitter erupts over Aiden Markram's 'trial ball' to short fine leg fielder during Rajasthan's chase
In cricket, a bowler delivers the ball to the batter, but it's always amusing when the ball ends up near a fielder instead. That's exactly what happened during the Qualifier 2 game between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad when Aiden Markram's delivery landed close to short fine-leg fielder.
Pat Cummins passed the ball to Aiden Markram for the 13th over, as the pitch favoured spinners. The Proteas star delivered a full-length ball to Shimron Hetmyer angling onto the stumps with precision. However, as he prepared to bowl the second ball, an unexpected slip from his hand caused the ball to fly wildly towards the short fine-leg position, much to the crowd's amusement. Furthermore, Markram acknowledged the slip caused by the dew on the field, took the ball and wiped it with his handkerchief before proceeding. Meanwhile, on-field umpire Nitin Menon deemed it a no-ball prompting Markram to bowl again.
Twitter exploded with amusement over Markram's delivery blunder, with users flocking to social media to share their thoughts.
What a ball!

Record!
That's World record wide from Markram

True
Difference btw team india leadership and Pat Cummins is he used part time spinners Abhishek and markram according to pitch behaviour despite they have nattu and unadkat who bowled only 1 over and probably 1 or 2 extra.

India will always go with traditional approach.
Conditions
The thing that brings cricket down is that, "Conditions" and external factors like dew.
— PD Banks (@princeGBPOUNDS)
Sunrisers are marching towards victory with part time spinners like Abhishek Sharma and markram,
The pitch was kind of ok for the first innings and it only got worse for the second.
Success
Dhruv successfully countered all 3 of Abhishek Shahbaz and markram

Skill is skill
Crazy
Had there been dew, SRH were ready to go Cummins-Bhuvi-Natarajan-Unadkat-Nitish.
— Abhishek Mukherjee (@ovshake42)
But with no dew, they unleashed their spin army on a slow pitch. Washington Abhishek Markram Head Samad - they all bowl.
The closest RR has to a sixth bowler is Riyan.
How poor
Looking at SRH part timers Abhishek, Shahbaz and Markram. How poor were Chahal and Ashwin on this pitch?

Fear is real
Now I'm actually fearing SRH bowling and not their batting
— Abhijeet ♞ (@TheYorkerBall)
Shahbaz, Sharma, Markram/Phillips on this Pitch 😳
Legend
